Prices are going up everywhere. I have noticed that JoAnn's "better" quilt fabric is as expensive as the fabric at my LQS, so I would rather shop there and support them than a large corporation. JMO I needed a new 60mm rotary blade. JoAnns price was $13.99 for one blade. That is double what I paid the last time I bought one there. I ordered a pkg. of 5 blades for $24.16 on Amazon. I have a Prime membership so I don't pay shipping. Online shopping is looking better all the time.
