Sometimes when you picture it a certain way, nothing else will do. I did the same thing, ended up ordering fabric from New Zealand for $23 per meter when I found the perfect background fabric. In my case the exchange rate is favorable with $1 US about $1.45 NZ, but add the exchange fee that the bank takes and international shipping and it still really expensive! I've only done it a few times!
