I have learned the hard way if you like it, if you have the money, then get as much of it as you can right away. I put off buying and then found it was popular and sold out. My biggest problem when I do buy a line I like is getting enough and trying to decide on the spot if I am going to make a quilt should I get enough for backing as well? Of course that begs the question of what size quilt will it be and I know most times I don't have the answers so I just do the best I can and purchase all I can afford at the moment. I like Connecting Threads cause I can usually get a kit for a quilt or whatever, then they tell me how much backing is needed. Problem solved.
