I buy fabric I like, at a price I can afford, wherever I can get it.
I am trying to make sure my fabrics are a good to better quality than I first purchased for my beginning stuff.
The other day I actually bought some fabric, (Ro Gregg) at my LQS (200 miles away) that I paid $9.00 a yd. for. I have never paid that much for fabric unless making Home Decor stuff.
Gosh it's pretty and the quality is great.
