Individual fat quarters sell for between $2.00 and $4.00 at LQS. One I was in yesterday had them $4.00 each or 3 for $10.00. Her fabrics, mostly batiks generally run $18.00 to $20.00/m.
I do find that sometimes the FQ that the LQS cut tend to look like they were from lines that did not sell.
But they do stock the precut at the manufacturer ones as well. Interestingly the price (up until a couple months ago the last time I looked) for the manufacturer precuts was the same as they are sold for in the USA. I will have to check now that the Canadian dollar is work so much less if that stays the same.
