It really comes down to whats 'your' worth? Id rather spend mine quilting..

It is even harder for my Etsy shops because I have to put it in at the time I list the item, so I will start adding a note in the listing that I will check parcel post rates if they want it. It is really only worth while if it is over 5 pounds.
Fabric is heavy and that can add up fast so I will remember to check all the sources. I hate to spend money on the shipping!
