I buy the majority of my fabric online and stay with $5 to $7 a yard. If there is a designed that I really love and if I can get it for under $10 a yard then sometimes I'll splurge. Just had a wonderful time on fabric.com this morning at their sale, $3.95 to $4.95 and that included Michael Miller and Riley Blake, two of my favorites. It has to be a something I just can't live without to pay over $10 a yard for. My big splurge last month was a panel by Michael Miller that I've searched high and low for and finally found at an Australian site. I paid $18.25 for the panel, that hurt. The design came out in November and I searched everywhere. I love Austalia and the shop is terrific, but it hurt to pay that much for something that was by an American designer and not be able to purchase it here. I have found some terrific items on Ebay from Canadian folks. Much success with your new venture.
