I would make a list, then go online and compare prices. Check out the different fabric stores. JoAnn's has different coupons you can use on line but I did find out really lookover their coupons. I took a coupon in and it was for certain items at 50% off but was only good on one item. They did use it on the highest priced item though.. You can also go to Missouri Star Quilt Co. and they have a tutorial for the beginner quilter starting supplies. Have fun!
