My LQS has really done a great job of keeping the prices as low as possible. Most are 9.99, some 8.99. I have only been to JoAnnes twice in the last year and the first of those visits, batiks were 12.99 then and not the best quality, so I buy what I can right here at the hometown store and some online.

I go to my 2 favorite local store for fabric that is a discontinued fabric store. It is last years fabric but it has always been reasonably priced. I can't afford the new prices but hey fabric is fabric.

After yesterday's experience I will be doing as much of my supplies shopping as I can at my favorite local shop, Country Fabrics in Shiloh, OH. I bought a 45 mm rotary blade there for $6.98. Later, at Joanne's for items not carried in the Shiloh store, the same blade was $16.99. Even with my 50% off coupon it wasn't as good at the Shiloh price. I know this doesn't help if you are not in north central Ohio because they do not take online orders, but I have to think the same might be true of other "local" shops run by Mennonites or Amish. Fabric prices are a little cheaper but we must all be aware of the cotton crop problems.
