It's very sad any more, everything is so expensive, even Wal-Mart the price is high, they use to carry, $2.00 a yard fabric, now they're $4.00, $5.00, $6.00 etc. or more, of course now they have better selections, even Batik, but it's no guaranteed for the Refill, so buy enough or a little more than you need. Different store (walmart) different Fabrics.
Even the small Shop there's a lot of overhead, utilities, taxes, the employees, rent, a lot of work.
