If you don't live close to JoAnn's or your LQS you save on gas by buying online. Check out the places that have free shipping if you purchase a certain amount and you save more. Also, look for sales and discounts. Fabric.com is great. I like Over the Rainbow too. She will return any shipping money not used. I may find a fabric I like while out shopping, then check online for price comparison. With fabric prices as high as they are, I try and save where I can.
