I watched a quilt shop do an unboxing of new fabric on youtube. They talked about why prices are suddenly gone higher. To ship five bolts of fabric to their store was now over $100 in shipping. The credit card fee is now added in to the bill when it didn't use to be.. They said they have not raised the price on the older fabric in the store before the increase as some shops may have. I don't think it's the shop's fault for the price increases, most are doing the best they can for the customers after all they have to have customers.
Prices for everything especially food has gotten out of hand. Seems like everyone involved thinks hey it's fine to raise the price on my end because everyone will pay it. It's the customer that gets hit with the end results.
