    Here is a suggestion I have used. Sell the smaller pieces by the pound. Calculate how much weight is a pound of fabric and then let them accummulate a group and then weigh it. It is easy and less work on your part. You can get rid of a lot of the smaller pieces. Measuring fabric takes a lot of time at a yard sale. I also believe you have to forget what you paid for it. The object is to get rid of it and still make some $$

    I agree with Holice re selling by the pound on at least some stuff, maybe even FQ. I went to a garage sale and she priced it that way and she had a good turnout. She also sold some notions for a good price. I also wouldn't buy for $4 a yard even if it's good quality, too close to what you get commercial on sale or online. I know it's hard but you do have to realize the object is to downsize first and then try to recoup some money. Making money is not the primary object. Good luck with your sale and move. We did it years ago before I was a quilter and even then it was a bear.

    my unsolicited $.02 for scraps: Please don't go to the trouble of cutting them! I do more with fabric than just quilting and often pass up pre-cut bundles because they don't work for my purposes. Quilters will cut strips, sewists will cut pattern pieces and artsy/craftsy folks will use all sorts of odd and end shapes!

    No advice about pricing, but as a buyer I wouldn't buy pre-cut scraps. I like mixed bags with lots of variety and sizes so I can use them in many ways.
