Dh and I went to a fabric warehouse yesterday in Houston. As we wandered through the place, we found fabric for everything from upholstery to tapestry to outdoor items to quilting. Basically anything fabric can be used for was in the warehouse.
We came across the fabric for quilting and the solids were anywhere from $1.99/yd to $4/yd by the bolt. The bolts were anywhere from 10 yards to 17 yards. On the small selection of the prints, the cost ranged from $5/yd up to $7/yd per bolt. Bolts had anywhere from 15 yards to 20 yards.
With all this said, dh and I were talking about buying our solid colors, batting and fusible webbing from there and our prints from our lqs.
Do you think this is a good or bad idea? We are open to suggestions since this is new to us in buying from a warehouse. You all have such a good insight that I told dh that I would ask my quilting friends.
Thanks.
