I went to a little fabric shop today and saw some beautiful batik's, thought I think all batik's are beautiful. The girl told me that they were $12.99/yd. I said you are kidding right? I told her I could go to Hancocks of Paducah and pay 9.99/yd. if I wanted Batik's that badly. I still have sticker shock from it.
Has anyone else seen Batik's this highly priced?

Brick and mortar stores can't compete with big retailers or internet shops. I think that price is high, but I've not shopped batiks from my LQS recently. The price of all fabric is up, so no I'm not surprised. And yes, you can buy over the net as I do too, but I do still try and stay local for some purchases to keep the doors open at my LQS.
