Well, in my area, I'm paying $16/m for average quality, $19-$22/m for good quality. I'm in Canada. I do most of my shopping online from the states and pay half that...INCLUDING shipping, duties, taxes, etc. If you can offer similar prices to what I pay in the US, I will very likely become a "frequent flier" at your online shop!

Our LQS is between 8-10 a yard. Good quality fabric. If I am putting that much work into a quilt I will pay the money for good fabric. Have had good luck at Joannes too with coupons.

None of My LQS are below $10.00 per yard now. There may be an odd bolt below that but it's only because they missed it when they were increasing the prices. Some are now at $11.50. Batik with matellic are the highest priced.
The price increases has hit battings as well.

the one LQS by me is around $11-15 a yard at the most expensive one, and $9-11 for the cheaper ones.

I buy online often because I can't see myself paying that much in a place I'm not comfortable in.

Joann and Hobby Lobby seemed to have gone up on their fabric and less quality even using the coupon seems high for the quality.

The price of fabric is unreal. It's just like the price of gas. Keeps going up. I paid 8.50 a yard for some the other day. I thought that was ghastly.

I've been shopping my stash and it's working. Hope to never have to buy another yard of fabric again. I work slowly, finishing one quilt before starting another and that helps greatly in controling any spending. Prices are horrendous ............ and not just fabric!
