I told Jerry about the cost of fabric per yard ($9) for the stuff for our room and he said- well, we don't do it very often. (OK- once in 12 years- duh!)
I never carry a balance on my credit card so whatever I buy, I must pay for right away. Keeps me in line. Plus, my weekly allowance- I can save by packing my lunch. So I stash my cash until the urge strikes and then I just go nuts over the feel of fabric.
I must say though- since finding this group, I've been stash building because of the info posted and it's grown quite nicely. I keep telling myself I'm buying now because if I don't have work and money coming in, I can always sew to keep me warm. :)
I do have 2 nice machines (Juki 98Q and Viking Rose) that I got for decent prices and my trusty Singer Touch N Sew, so I don't really need much more. So I'm content buying fabric every so often.
