The Sterling Annex to Ponte Alto could probably be persuaded to<BR>make a field trip sometime. ;) I use 'em on my Italian Ren gowns. <BR><BR>Kerri, <BR><BR>>From my perspective, Hancock Fabrics tends to carry slightly better stuff<BR>than JoAnn Fabrics (another prominent fabric store in the area).<BR>Definitely worth a look.
