Dear Andy,
There is no place to but fabric for apparel or decorating in our area. There are all lots of stores for quilting fabrics. I am interested in opening a fabric store. Possibly a franchise. Do you have any information on that subject? Any help you can give would be appreciated. Sincerely, Krin

Dear Krin: Sorry, but I do not know of any franchise fabric stores.
If you are serious about opening a store, I suggest you attend several wholesale fabric trade shows.
The one for decorator fabrics www.itma-showtime.com They have a great web site, where you can find lots of exhibitors of the types of fabrics you want.
There are several shows for apparel fabric. Visit www. material-world.com, www.textileshows.com, and www.fabricshow.com.
The first two, are about the best.
Follow your dream and Good Luck,
Andy
