A QS that is about 50 miles away has a couple of 30% off everything in the store sales each year and their inventory changes pretty rapidly.

A QS that I really LOVE is about 90 miles away and is on the route that I take when I visit my daughter. They have an amazing store crammed full of precuts of every type with yardage to match. The owner of that store told me that her MODA Sales Person said that precuts are 1/3 of Moda's business and she has found that precuts have become 1/3 of her store's business. There is always something new in her store and it is my favorite place to shop.

I don't like going in a store where the inventory just stays the same. I like a fresh new look and I do enjoy buying precuts.
I really relate with your tales of traveling over 50 miles to shop. Utah may not be near as big as Texas but from where I live everything is measured in miles rather than minutes. I drive 45 miles to my favorite closest shop, then 88 miles to the other shops I like but my most favorite is 365 miles away in the southern part of our state and I live in the northern. Sadly I'm unable to attend their classes. Gratefully I've got Jenny's darling tutorials.
