DH who is very good with figures said to me, perhaps you would be better off buying your fabric that you need with the width of 108 in, you would need less yardage and it would cost less then yds of 45 inches.
Do you think that is a good idea??
Yes, except for the limited selection.

Has anyone seen batiks in 108?
I know that Tonga has the 108" batiks in quite a few colors schemes. They run about $16.75 a yard but went to the wholesaler and found the same and their cost/price was $7.50 a yard but had to take the entire bolt. So if you have a tax number, that would be the way to go. Haiks fabrics in Springfield, MO is the wholesaler and they supply stores nationwide.
