Has anyone else seen Batik's this highly priced?
I paid $9.99 per yd in Northwest Arkansas a few years back. The smaller shops can't compete. Connecting Threads on the internet has some gorgeous fabrics for about half that and you can order charm packs, strips, etc. to be sure of colors etc. I will go that route from now on. I love Batiks and am not quite ready to give them up. I will NOT however, spend my last dime on them.
