If you had an LNS...
I was asked the other day what I would like to see in the stitching
section of a local, independent craft shop. I know what I'd like to see, and I wondered what others would find most important. So, if you could design a stitchery shop or department, what would you insist it offer, in the way of merchandise, classes, etc.? Thanks, Louisa |

Thanks, Louisa A wide selection of embroidery floss, Persian and tapestry wool. Canvas by the yard. Lots of knitting material, if it's in the colder climes. |

Thanks, Louisa I would love a shop that offers a lot of different items. It would be okay if they only showed samples to save space and took orders. I'm stuck with only Michaels within reasonable driving distance so I would welcome almost anything. Lucille |

Thanks, Louisa Every type of wools, alpaca, yak, spun flax, tons of linen by the yard, every manner of floss, Anchor, JP and DMC as well as silks of differing weights. *Classes showing specific stitches how to create your own patterns, and use different fibers to make art. *Tools of all kinds, reasonable properties, and a shop which also caters to the Internet customer who isn't *local.

This may sound a bit out there, but a computer set up and ready for
customers to look at Hoffmandis or possibly other wholesale sites so they can come in and say "this is what I want". I know sometimes I go in to a shop looking for an idea, or have an idea, but they don't have anything *exactly* right and have wished I could use a compouter (or even a catalog!) to show them "something along this line." Of course, fabrics, threads, canvas. . . Linda |

Fort Lauderdale is pretty far from me. I'm in Port St. Lucie on the Treasure Coast. Up until recently we had a lovely shop in Stuart, approximately a 1/2 hour car ride and I got spoiled. Lucille |
