I completley understand before they "broke" the $10.00 per yard barrier, I would not think twice about getting a yard of this or that , now I am saying" I'll take 1/2 yard" when it is a piece that has no immediate project, with the idea that I must have some thing in my stash to work with it. I can not imagine , myself getting three yards on speculation of a project.
The new prices have brought on a new guilt level of buying on speculation. I never thought it would happen , that my addiction could be tamed , but it has happened.
