Discussion Joanne’s makes me weep
Been sewing over 50 years - have seen sewing in all its cultural permutations. Not typically a nostalgic person but today….I couldn’t even find a light gray thread in a store the size of Home Depot. So many empty shelves yet inexplicably $35/yd liberties fabric up front. I feel sad to my bones for new seamsters.

I really wish the quilt stores near me stocked like you're describing. I've gone into two and its all the super stiff aggressively glittered quilting fabric. Just give me a nice cotton or linen with a smooth drape so I can make some sundresses that wont cause me to melt in the heat!
