well, now ... this has certainly been a fascinating read. in more ways than one. :lol:
i don't envy anybody who has to decide what to buy in the hope others will like it, too. the idea of having to force myself to buy fabs i hate just because i think somebody else might want it is ... just ... well ... EEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWW! :shock:
i try to spend as little as possible per yard so that i can haul away a greater variety of fabs whenever i shop. i get a rash whenever i spend more than $5 per yard (including shipping). over $6? only when i'm desparate for that particular fabric and nothing else will do.
whether online or in-shop, i wander through the fabs in my price range and wait for them to trip me as I go past. (i fall down a LOT in fabric stores. :lol: ) i don't care if they're from a new line or if they've been seen in neanderthal cave paintings. i either like it or i don't.
so, that's my 37 cents (plus shipping & handling, don'tcha know).
