I have shopped at this fabric store in Dallas for several for years. I recently learned that fabric can be ordered on line. Check it out as they have great prices. CorinthianMills.com
Good prices but when I made an order of $15.92 for fabric, the shipping was going to be $14.98. That's not a good value to me to order online. They only ship ground UPS.
Sorry to hear about the high cost of shipping. I have not shopped online. I go into Dallas several times a month and just drop by the store/warehouse out on Harry Hines.
