I know the store owners of two fabric shops and they both have told me that when they go to the shows to see and order fabric, they can order the same fabric the quilt shops order, except it is flat folded and not on bolts. One of them said the price difference between flat folded and bolts is a lot, so they order all that they can flat folded. I have seen the same fabric at one of their stores and at the local quilt shop and the difference in price is noticable. So now when I shop for fabric, I don't let flatfolded fabric stop me if it is the same as the quilt shop.
