Here in Port Charlotte, Fl the LQS's are getting more than they used to the newer fabrics are 12.99 or 13.99 yd and if you need a lot of yds that's getting to much. I think they chg more for their patterns than a whole book. You have to watch what you buy. I guess that's why so many go out of business even tho their fabric is nice it cost to much to make anything of size. Sue
