Thread: I'm in Shock!!

The price of cotton has gone thru the roof so the price of fabric has too according to my suppliers. I was told it was suppose to come back down this Fall. We shall see

But it's not only fabric that has gone up in price...have you priced thread lately. I always use Superior's Bottom Line thread in the bobbin of my long arm. It is $13.98 for a 3000yd. spool. When I started long-arming in 2005 it was $6.95 for the same size spool. Plus everything else that is related to quilting is higher. Binding clips, needles, and have you priced blades for you rotary cutters? Wow, it is becoming a rich persons hobby. I'm gonna hang on as long as I can!!! :thumbup: :wink:

thats why I love Mardens, most fabric is 3.99 and its brand names too
