Just came from my LQS, the new fabric she is putting out today was $12.75 per yd. She showed me what it cost her and I almost fainted. She isn't making enough money to keep the shop going much longer. I noticed she has sales starting on the 20th of the month and she said that is how she pays her rent and utilities on the first. She figures this may be her last year in business after 17 years. So sad! She says customers give her a hard time about not having all fabrics in a group and she says she can only buy what will sell. She says batting will take a big jump year end.
