The price for one of their new lines that I really like, and which is not being released until spring, is 55 cents higher than a similar current line.
And they had already raised their prices for current lines in 2010.
Coupled with the cost of shipping to get from their warehouse on the west coast to our shop here in NY, I will be looking to see if I can find less expensive collections. And I REALLY liked their fabrics! :-( We never have any quality-control issues with their goods.

I've got a large roll....At alco's here , I noticed it already went up quite a bit, though I do not buy anything but rolls...
And I have gotten some fabrics to finish UFOs as I heard increases will be significant.
One of my suppliers on the Net had said prices were way up now, and it will only get worse!
