I have bought some fabrics up to 15 a half yard but that was out of love of the fabric and it was a special fabric and then there are times I cant see paying more then 8 a yard. So it depends on the project and what is really needed and what is available. I do try to stay in the price range of $7 - 10 a yard. With the new prices on Batiks it is getting really hard and I have fallen in love with their usage.
