I agree with you, but that's their way of making more money. I have been to a store called Frank's Bargain Center in Claremont, New Hampshire where there is a policy that if you buy 100 or more yards the cost is $2.65/yard. There is no online store as of yet, but the fabric selection was terrific the last time I went.
The owner said that he ships lots of fabric to Australia and other countries. He said that some fabric in Australia was up to $26.00/yard for the same thing he sells for $2.65. He sends entire bolts at a time. Will look for his phone # for you.
Oh my goodness, that is amazing, lol! I would bu many bolts then. I wish they had a website. Are they hoping to get one? do you know? I wonder how expensive there shipping fees are. Do they have a huge selection? How do I see what the have? Thank you, Thank you oh so much! :) :)
