I live in North Yorkshire, England. Many of our FQs are £2.50 which converts to $3.95. We do have a shop in Scarborough (about 40 miles away) which sells fabric at £4 per yard which is really cheap for over here. It is also good quality. If I could buy FQs at 99cents I would think I had floated to heaven (in Eglish money that would be about 63 pence.) My daughter in law's dad lives in CA and if he comes over here for Xmas sometimes brings me a bundle form Joannes.
