Prices of batting (groan)
After spending the winter in AZ I was able to go to our local fabric store. I had read about the cost of Warm & Natural batting increasing in price. I wanted to check our prices against US prices. W & N is $38.00 a meter (39 inches) & the pre-packaged queen size was 98.00. Needless to say I didn't buy any, hope it goes on sale.

wow- why not find an on-line shop that sells international- i bet even with shopping it's going to be lots less expensive- since we pay about $27 for a queen batt!
|
Yikes! It's on sale at Joann's right now (doesn't help Canadians I know) for 19.99 for a queen size package. Plus they have an extra 15% off coupon so I picked one up today for $17. Regular price is $45 I think.

Ah'm so proud of paying 19.99 at Joann's. Its gone up to $27 and $33 everywhere else. Gonna grow my own at this rate. Now where did I put those carders?

I doubt I would be able to quilt much at those prices.. and doubt I would ever really put my quilts to the use they get now. Such a huge investment !
|
All of my quilts have high loft polyester batting, washes wonderfully, warm without the weight. Works great for me.
|
are you close enough to come over the line and get some???? I would by a whole roll at Joann's and take it home if you could. Might be worth checking into. I have friends that live in Ontario and take stuff home with them every summer. good luck.

Batting is pretty hard to smuggle across the border. :)I think your best bet is to order some from a company on line that offers a good deal on shipping.
