I remember the first time I paid over $5.00 a yard for fabric and thought how much that seemed at the time. Seems they stayed $8.00-$8.50 for a long time. I still haven't paid over $10.00 and hope not to...usually wait to buy fabric on sale...and have a large stash to work with.
The price on the farm seldom if ever goes up. In Canada we are paying $15 to $22 a meter for what you pay $10 for. The Gutterman 26 thread box sells for over $50 here. If notions go on sale at Farbicland(the friendly neighborhood store) it only applies to anything that is 12.98 and under. That's why we cross border shop when we can. I am going to start getting fabric online. Loaded up on notions on a shopping trip to Great Falls.
