If you are paying more than $4.95 to use the manilla envelopes for shipping and the cost of the envelopes too, then yes it would be cheaper to use the priority flat rate envelopes.
Just a thought... the flat-rate envelopes are only cardboard, so they don't have the protection against water that bubble-wrap envelopes do. So you should always put your items in a plastic bag, then inside the envelope. It's also an extra layer of protection in the event that the envelope is handled roughly. We've had quite a few of our customers comment that the envelope arrived torn or otherwise damaged, but the fabrics inside were just fine.
