Fabric in France is around 16 - 20 euros per metre! I order mostly from the UK and sometimes even from the States - even with shipping it's cheaper. I've no idea why I can buy for example, a Robert Kauffman print for 9 USD per yard and have it shipped from the States for a few dollars BUT the same fabric in a shop here is 20 euros (about 28USD) per metre - presumably the shop can get better rates than me so their mark up must be horrendous! Social charges for self-employed here are quite high, but even so! DH says it's because there's no market here for fabric - but they'll never GET a market at those prices!
I order mostly from the UK - Cotton Patch, Tabby Cat and Lady Sew and Sew. Any other tips for good sites, much appreciated! :D
