Hi, Your right it's like everything you don't realize that others would have a problem like you do. The fabric is always there at the store or on-line and I would never think you can't get it. I can't just go buy whenever I feel like it I try mainly when their is a sale. I get lots of e-mails with gorgeous fabric but I have to use up what I have now. I hope things will get better for you to buy things. Be thinking of you. Take care. Sue
