So at 100x10 that means about $1000 worth of fabric at retail prices (average/average high).???
Wow. I mailed myself 3 or 4 boxes (16x16x16) to myself this year... for shipping purposes, I put yard sale values on the box--max of $45 or I have to pay customs.... plus, I don't send myself quilt shop fabric in boxes via the post office. That comes over in my carryon!
But I'm afraid to say how much the value of my fabric is. Better go sew!
