check the remnant bins when you're fabric shopping?

Got six cotton and one broadcloth bundle, ranging from 1/3 yd to 1 5/8 yd......6 1/2+ total yds for $28.00 at Hobby Lobby Friday. Two prints for bowtucks, and the rest for pillowcase dresses for gdaughter.

Love to find pretty prints in Joann's remnant bin. 1/2 off their already discounted price. :)

I always check the remnant bins. I often find a treasure.

You bet I do. I rove over, around and almost under anything that could hold fabric when I go into a store or shop.

You got a great buy! Congratulations! Love it.

I rarely find cotton fabric at my Joann's remnant bins but I have found other nice fabrics there.

Love to find good remnants, sometimes just shy of a yard.

I always head there first. Chances are I will find something worthwhile since I also sew clothing. In fact, I have almost the same amount of quilting and fashion/novelty fabric.
