I generally avoid Spotlight anyway, because there's hardly any actual material left there, it's all livelaughlove homewares and knick knacks. The fabric they do sell is literally the same shit I could order online from China, just at big markups.
I do have the inner-city privilege of having a few surviving fabric suppliers near me, I know that's not the case in a lot of places.

@stib@aus.social In Sydney, I know of a great fabric place in Hurstville on Forest Road not far from the station. There's also a good store in Parramatta on Church St a few blocks north of the railway line.

@stib@aus.social yeah, Spotlight have killed everything in this town except a couple of quilt stores. I will not shop at spotlight or Temu or Amazon, (even if the thread I am ordering from a specialist online store may have come from them, you can't win...)
