Thats a good way to think about it. Maybe once I am more confident in what I do and how it turns out I won't feel ripped off by 7.00/yrd fabric! :)
I think this is an excellent beginner policy. Those of us who are pretty much clueless don't need to spend heavily on fabric. We still have to buy tools and other things. Practice on the inexpensive stuff, collect tools and then splurge when you know what you are doing!
