check out stitch-n-frame.net for batiks....GREAT prices in the sale sections!
I can buy wholesale and I can tell you that if you are paying more than $12 per yard for TOP name (Hoffman, Moda, Timeless Treasures(which can be IFFy at best), you are paying too much..if there is NO name on the end of the bolt, you should not pay more than $8 as they are low end goods.
