When our dollar was on par with the US dollar, it was really affordable for me to shop there, but when the Canadian dollar sinks below 80cents, I put away the charge card and just window shop.

A yard is 4 inches shorter than a metre so on ten yards I lose a metre of fabric. And the cost of the fabric goes to almost 8.50 a yard for me. PLUS they charge to ship to Canada. Which I do think is a little unfair considering my orders hover around 100.00 US. I can see putting a surcharge on the order... what it costs them over and above what it would cost to ship to the most expensive place in the U.S.

But having had my little tantrum, I still LOVE the fabric. Love working with it and love the designs. Beautiful stuff... you lucky Americans!
