Actually, "organic" doesn't save on chemicals at all - it's just a different chemical. There are still chemicals involved.
And I will say that while I'm not necessarily happy about the increases in fabric costs since I first started quilting 10-ish years ago (they've almost doubled), I won't stop buying fabric. I may be a little more discerning, and I might order from online shops a little more. Honestly, though ... that's not necessarily an indicator of price for me - it's an indication that I cannot find fabrics I like locally. You'd think it would be easier in a place like Houston, wouldn't you?
Anyway, my point is ... I have seen the prices of fabric in the UK, and I'm still ok with our prices here. LOL I just won't pay more for so called organic fabric. Then again, if I really like it enough ...
