Dear Lightwriter: Even thought I have a Hobby Lobby and a Walmart (which makes me shudder if I think I have to go there) I find that ordering fabric on line is a good option. I do know that it can be more money than if you purchase it at a store, but sometimes you can get a bargain. Have you tried Jo-Ann's on line? I am about 12 miles (24 round trip) from town so even though I don't have the ride you do I can sympathize. How do these clerks get the job in the first place? There must be some standard to be met, maybe not. Sad state of affairs.
