You folks need to come to the Finger Lakes. The Mennonite stores have absolutely NO character but they have amazing fabrics and the prices are unbelieveable. There are two w/in 30 minutes of me. One is a general store (no foods, but everything from stationery to underwear to pots and pans) with a fabric corner. The other used to be Hoovers Shoes, but recently changed their name. Probably b/c she sells more fabric than shoes. They still have the shoes, as well as bonnets & hats, but more fabric than ever. Golden something or other now.

Fabric is about $5.50/yard and is includes all of the usual manufacturers - Moda, Thimbleberries, Lakeshore, Benartex, etc.

Both stores have lots of batiks. Want to come? Maybe we can do a little shop hop and a miniature horse showing of sorts. Come on, Karla, let's get them here for a visit!

Terry, your such a bright spot, bet your hubby is the easy going, laid back kind. Who's going to be doing all that driving? :D

oh, I was going to say ty, ty, ty HMK for asking this. I will be needing some batiks soon and I did not know that they have a tighter weave. I will definitely be picking them out in person so I can 'feel'. Also, it was pointed out to me, to 'open' fabric up, bc with batiks, the colors can be all different as you unroll bolt. good thing to know.

I have bought from Batiks.com when I lived in VA and could shop there in person. They have a good supply of fabrics and will ship to you.

Good luck,

Wanda

I have found Fabric Shack has the lowest prices. $5.98 a yard most others are $9

Mousie

ty for that MsSage. Do you find the batiks to change much as you unroll? Can only see one small part online. Maybe I should buy a little and get the 'experience'.

There's an ebay store I've purchased from a number of times. Least expensive Hoffmann's I've every seen and nice service.

Try this link: http://search.ebay.com/search/search...fsop=32&fsoo=2

If that doesn't work, the seller is smithville_ohio. You should see the Balis at $4.99!

NAYY, just a pleased customer.
