You found a great buy. In the past year i have gone to 2 estate sales and come home with quite a haul. The 1st one I got 76 yd for $76. The ladies that were having the sale didn't know the value of fabric. They did not have it priced, it was just on shelves. Myself and 1 other lady was there so we got all the good fabric. The way we figured out what I owed was i used the measure from you nose to outstretched hand = 1 yd. We sat on the front porch while I measured it. The 2nd one they had everything priced. I bought at least 100 yd fabric at $1 yd. She also had thread marked at $.50 a spool. It was Sulky & Mettler thread normally $2.49 - $2.79 unless it is on sale here. Sometimes Hancock & Joann has it for 50% off. Some of them still had the clear wrapping on them. I got about 50 spools. Won't have to buy thread for awhile.
