Usually one yard if it's something I can think I will use it in. You should see my sewing studio, I have more fabric than a LQS. Two years ago there was a fabric shop that was going out of business and they had full bolts of fabirc listed almost 2000 of them and some of them were going for 10.00 for the bolt, 100 cotton, good quality. Well I ended up buying over 172 of the bolts and my son built shelving in the studio for them. That doesn't include my FQ's or apperal fabric............I'm not bragging, but you can get out of control, so now I am watching it unless it is a great discount or sale.
