Oh yes, ChiggerHoller, I too could make good use of those automatic cutting machines! But if I wanted to be greedy, I would take the cash sales for a year and we ALL would have a big party...........LOL Sadly, like everything else, those fabric prices just seem to be going up and up every year. $9.80 to $10.25 for the nicer quilting fabrics here but I always wait for the Bolt Sale Days and then buy $100 worth which lasts me a year.
