Our money is about double yours.... roughly.... so $100 US is about $200 NZ. The cost of shipping is not too bad actually. I think the reason our quilt shops are so high is all the import taxes and stuff they have to pay. I know my favourite shop has resisted putting their prices up as long as possible, but they've recently gone from $26 a metre to $32. It's a big jump. :-(
Of course, with a credit card we can buy direct from the USA. It's a little hard not being able to touch the fabrics to see the quality, but if you stick with the blender fabrics it's not so bad. My credit card is an ugly mess at the moment, it's in hiding for a while!
