I went to your fabric store, Matt, when I was there in June. It's little, but it's quite a wonderful place clearly run by people who care about sewing. It's a far cry from the chain fabric stores that increasingly have craft junk crowding out the fabric and that stock hundreds of bolts of the most ghastly pile/fleece fabric and not much else worth looking at. Our Joann's carried hair canvas 10 years ago, then they stopped carrying it but you could get it special order, and now you can't even order it. I think there's only one person in our local Joann's who even knows what hair canvas is. So, most people have the experience that Aldisimo has!
