Amen ladies
You truly get what you pay for. I worked in 2 quilt stores and owned one for a few years.
I love a bargain but much prefer quality. All the products we buy, food, gas keep going up and so do the services that are a part of selling good fabrics.
Someone told me fabric is very high priced in Canada, they measure meters instead of yards and that would be approximate 4 inches more than a yard and the there prices are $20.00/yard.
