FavoriteFabrics (a poster here) and has a online fabric business by the same name. I'm not sure if you can "visit" her location, of if she's only online?
And I know I've seen a couple of other posters from the greater Niagara area.

The 2 shops on the American side I believe are on the same highway at opposite ends-the little one(I have forgotten names) is where I was able to purchase material representing the Carousel Museum that is up there. The other was a reasonable size and had a moderate selection. The one on the Canadian side is in a house on a side street and remember they sell by the miter but she had a great selection and had deals where you bought 1/3 meters vs fat quarters. Do a google search and you will find them I have an order coming from Favorite fabrics this summer They are great!!

Patchwork Porch is the one in Niagara Falls I like. (Thanks Helen for reminding me of the name.) They often have lines of fabric I haven't seen before and she has some unique ideas. It isn't huge but I feel it's worth a stop. She does sell by the meter but I think all Canadian shops do.

That varies! Some of the shops in this area have it priced both by yard or metre.

Reason? Most patterns still call for yards. And many of us still think in yards. So they have it calculated and ready to serve the customer.

Besides it avoids that possibility of mis-calculating as conversions are made !!

I can't help you out with the shops but I thought I would let you know the Falls on the USA side aren't much to look at but on the Canada side they are gorgeous. We always stay on the Canada side when we go.
