When I did make clothes, I pretty much only ever bought my fabric at a tiny
store. The same store where I bought my used machine. They had only high
quality fabrics that you couldn't get anywhere else here. If I needed
something simple like a T Shirt Fabric then I would go to one of the big
stores.

The dance studio owner makes a yearly trip either to NY or CA for fabrics
because she can get ones that are not available here. There are good
fabrics available here but she wants her costumes to stand out.
