Kansas is usually 10-$13--little more for batiks. I like the selection and quality of the LQS but having a friend that owns a LQS, know that she has to be on-line in order to really make enough to stay open. Even then she works 6 days a week and usually by herself. So when I'm not using stash, or ordering batiks from Fabric Fanatics (my friend doesn't like batiks so her selection is limited), I purchase from her. Another trend I see around here is fabric stores are not staying open except Wed or Thurs through Sat in order to reduce their employee overhead. Makes those last minute needs a pain.
