Wow what a difference between some countries!
I wonder why? Especially since almost all fabrics are not printed in the USA.
I might have answered my own question. I know huge rolls of fabric come in and then are wound on to the smaller cardboard pieces for shipping to quilt stores, but America can't be the only country that does this for quilting fabric.
I know I've been in quilt stores here that have had other quilters from various countries buy huge amounts of fabric and either ship it home or take extra suitcases......and they say they are saving money doing it this way.
