Estate sales are a great source for fabric especially if it's a quilter's estate. I got 2 bags of batting 80/20 the other week for $5.00 Both queen size and unopened. Spoke with one woman who was interested in a Bernina that was for sale at 50% off since it was the last day. Looked down at a box that had attachments for it on another table. Gave it to her and said to check if they would give the attachments along with the machine. She got all for $25.00. I had my "test" kit with me. They let her plug it in and couple passes with the needle and my borrowed kit, sold. The manual was sitting with some magazines. They were going to charge her $5.00 for it till I opened my big mouth and said that should be part of the deal since it is the original with the machine and was probably included in the original purchase. Felt like I did my good deed for the day. I did pretty good along with the batting. Got 4 pair of Big and Tall mens' shirts and 3pr corduroy pants (xxxl) $10.00.
