This should really go in the alt.sewing.michigan thread.
A buddy from Ann Arbor, now in West Lafayette, Ind., asked for an acquaintance who is wondering whether to head to Kalamazoo or Royal Oak for a pending road trip..
"She's looking for good quality fabrics - probably fine wools and silks. She hates the current fashions and is intending to make some clothes, but doesn't want polyester. She's quite the seamstress." (So is my buddy, but she hasn't been to either place.)
It's been years since I went to H's, and I never could afford it when I lived nearby. Now I'm in Grand Rapids, where there's a F's in every quadrant of the city, plus a couple more a half hour away.
Anyone been to both, besides Joy (I'm guessing)? Which would you steer her to?
Yep, I mentioned the upcoming sewing expo in Novi, said that H's is likely to be there. Dunno if Field's goes.
Thanks!
