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).
Well, Patrice you described my style perfectly! I have a limited amount of money to spend on fabric and the less I pay per yard the more I can buy.
That said someone said to make yourself known as something particular and I think that's the best "advice" I've seen so far.
Wishing you success.
