Re: Things You Miss Buying

fabric and trim off the bolt just because it's pretty and feels nice.

I'm limited to only buying what I need when I have a project for it, and/or I'm guaranteed it's the right color, weight, and I'm not overbuying a whole yard when I only need a quarter. I can't afford to just throw wrong fabrics into my stash right now. I miss the freedom of just going ooooo shiny 2.5 yards please.

I'd love to have a fabric store within 25 miles of me. Ever since Joanne closed there's really nothing but the fat quarters at Walmart, which only gets you so far if you're trying to make clothes or a large tote bag or the like.

Same! I hate ordering fabric online, too. I always end up with a bunch of stuff that isn’t just right. My town does have a Hobby Lobby but I won’t shop there. Our Walmart has a nice selection but it’s all pretty low quality so it has limited usage. For instance, I can use their solids for quilts but only if I do patchwork quilts. HSTs are out of the question even though I’m super experienced with them and my machine never eats them except when I use the Walmart fabrics because they fall apart as soon as you cut them. That also means they don’t sew nice and square.

I miss Joann’s so much. I wish the nearby Michael’s was one of the ones with fabric but it isn’t going to happen. Michael’s has a very limited plan for stocking fabric in stores and won’t be adding it to many more than they already have.

Local quilt shops are another matter. First, you can pretty much just quilting fabric there. So if you need anything else you need to order online from Amazon or one of the tiny suppliers. And there are far fewer tiny suppliers today than there were a year ago.

The other issues with local quilt shops is they usually have a pretty small selection and they tend to focus on fabrics aimed at making pink bay quilts for girls or religious themes. Plus, I live in the south so all the LQS are run by elderly southern Baptist women who are super judgey and fake nice and do not approve of my existence. They may serve me but odds are they’ll mis-cut and it’s guaranteed they’ll make a ton of little digs at me the whole time.

Joann’s was my paradise and I really don’t know how sewing hobbies will continue if we don’t get a replacement in the next few years :(

My favourite memories with my mother has always been going to the fabric store with her. I loved looking at all, the different bolts and textures and colours. There was no other place like it.
