Frustration! I was on the road and decided to check out some shops I got from the Moda locator.
1. The one in Joliet, IL I called to get directions ... left a voice mail twice ... no return call.
2. Went to the one in Morris, IL. They did have Moda bolts but had no pre-cuts at all! Had a great selection but very limited on the collections I was looking for (Kansas Troubles Icicle Kisses, Pheasant Hill, Favorites or Favorites II.) Inquired about the Favorites II ... got the impression they didn't plan on getting any.
3. Called a third shop in Tinley Park. No answer or voice mail but decided to stop by since it was just a block off my route. Their sign was up at the parking lot entry but the shop at that address was empty!
4. The last one on the route was a mile off my route. Learned my lesson and called and got their operating hours. When I walked in there was no Moda to be seen. They said they stopped selling Moda "a while back." (2012)
So now I'm planning a route back to North Carolina. So now I have to call each shop along the road to see if they are still open, what their hours are and see if they are still selling Moda. Additionally now I'm wondering how many are open and carry what I'm looking for ... but aren't on that locator list.
Anyone else have this type of problem? Wonder if the other fabric manufacturers are more up-to-date with their locator........
