I agree fabric , rotary blades, specialty rulers are very expensive here. Add to that that somethings will not are cannot be sent to Canada by places like Joann's etc I want t scream ever times someone on the board complains that fat quarters at $1.50 are "expensive". Here they are up to $4 each!
Another problem is postage,. We may find a deal in the USA but the postage is more than the cost of the item!
