I have found that things always look bigger on TV then in actuality. The fabric stores where I live on Long Island NY are not that huge either. Colleen

I use to live in Dothan a millon years ago, ok it was 11 years ago. There are some fabric warehouse on Howell Mill Road in Atlanta that I've heard people talk about. You might can do a google search for that area.

Mary Jo's is in Gastonia, North Carolina, just west of Charlotte if you are ever in the area. Her store is huge and the prices are good.

Try Fishman's in Chicago on Roosevelt Road -- Also Vogue fabric store across the street from Fishman's.

Big Horn Quilts in Wyoming....Not as big as Mary Jo's but huge selection.

I live in Roswell but use to live in Dothan,30+ years ago, small world. There are tons of fabric store in the Atlanta area. There are huge ones and some that are not so big but have lots to choose from. If you ever want to come to Atlanta to shop let me know and I will try and help you find what you need. The main places are Lewis Textiles, Forsyth Fabrics,both located off Howell Mill and I75. Miltex Fabrics-which is new and located 5 blocks from my home in Roswell. There is also many others but the first 2 have the largest variety and they are LARGE, almost overwhelming. I have a friend who does fabric treatments as a living and we frequent these often. I tag along just to look and feel of all the fabrics. You can find anything you want. Some have discount rooms where most is half price but it is usually old pattern fabrics but still great finds and the solids are great. They have trim rooms as well. Hope this helps
