You'll buy, you won't be able to resist their prices. When I was there in June their batiks were on sale for $2.99 a yard. There's also the "Red Sign" warehouse across the parking lot that has second available for $1 a pound if you take the whole piece. They have 17 5yd cuts of blenders bundled up for $102. If you go to the left after going in the main warehouse, all the way through the large open doors the fabric is really inexpensive---wholesale pricing but anyone can buy it. Any time you take all that's left on a bolt it's cheaper too. If there's anything you're looking for and willing to take it in multiple 5yd cuts, sometimes it's as low as $1.95 a yd. I was looking for a lot of Bear prints and bought 4 5yd pieces for $1.95 a yard. If you purchase more than you can haul they will ship it for you. Of course you have to pay for shipping but still, it will be cheaper than LQSs. They also cut generously. No 36" yards there. They usually cut 40" yds. The woman waiting on me said it was because they might not always cut straight and want to make sure their customers are able to get straight yard out of the fabric. I'm already planning next year's vacation to include a side trip to Batesville. I'm also going to take a LOT more money with me.
