If there are any aspiring entrepreneurs out there I have a business suggestion:
Open up a fabric, thread and sewing supply store in Atlanta
Like in the Howell Mill, 17th Street, Octane-ish area would be dope! Right now all we have is Hancock near Lindbergh and Gail K’s off of Cheshire.
While I appreciate Gail K’s variety and helpful staff, I can’t count on it for consistent stock of a particular fabric since they purchase remnant bolts from NY. And while Hancock’s never seems to be fully stocked of threads and other sewing items and that’s a major headache when you’re working on a project and need to match a thread color and the one you see is just too light and the one right next to is empty and you think “OH NO! that’s the one I need I just know it why are they out my client is going to be pissed and hate me forever fuuuuuuck!!!!!”
There are a bunch of shops near Huff road but those are for upholstery and window treatments and they don’t carry thread.
I’m tired of ordering everything I need online. That takes time and $ and there’s always that little hint of suprise when you get the package in the mail. Is it all there? Is the fabric damaged? I hope the colors match!
Please. Help.
