We have been paying these prices in Australia for long enough. Spotlight are cheaper but the fabrics are often made in the far east and not as good quality. It depends on what you are making. A quilt that you hope to be an heirloom needs top quality fabric. Why put so much time and effort, and love, into something not made with good quality fabrics. On the other hand, Spotlight's fabrics are suitable for things like bags, dolls, runners. We have a couple of shops selling end of line and discontinued lines and on a good day you can find what you need for a third of the price. My hobbies are my only vices so I'll keep on feeding my addictions as long as possible, even on a fixed income.
