Being a buyer for a fabric store I always follow the threads about prices of fabrics... whether they're going up, how your LQS deals with it, what the chain stores are charging, what prices are in different parts of the world etc.
And I got to wondering two things:
1) How much do you think the shops mark the fabric up, per yard?
2) How much do you think a shop *needs* to mark it up, in order to stay in business?
These really are questions about YOUR perceptions. And there are no right answers or wrong answers, only your own personal perspective on the price issue. I would like to know, candidly, what it looks like from "the other side of the fence"!
