I am in Canada and watch for sales, but good quality batiks can cost $23.00/m.

A friend just opened an online fabric shop, her prices are in the $15.00/m range. http://https://trollbrothersquiltdesigns.com/collections

Depending on the shop I can buy a minimum 10 or 20 cm. FQ if in a bundle like Moda, are US sized, but some Canadian shops cut Canadian sized FQ.

Shop cut FQ range in price from $3.00 to $5.00, perhaps more. One shop had a buy 4 get the 5th free once a month.

Canadian stores sell by the metre, but can cut by fractions of a yard. Most have two measuring strips on the table to accommodate customer needs.

Similarly, when I worked in delis, I knew what a quarter pound of sliced meat was in metric, our scale was only metric, so I would cut the the metric amount (114 g).
