for rotary cutters and blades i haunt ebay.
these are the lowest prices i've found so far on Olfa frosted rulers: http://www.carpediemstore.com/mlistC...idCategory=428 |
Michaels for quilt batting with half price coupon. Hobbs queen size 80/20 regular 14.99 - 1/2 price - 7.50 plus tax. Since I'm doing mostly throw size (50 x 60) quilts for Ronald McDonald House, I can get 2 quilts from each batting with some left over. If I do 10" quilt as you go, I can get 3 quilts from each batting making it 2.67 per quilt.

I get Kona at Hancock's of Paducah for 3.98 a yard, but have seen lower prices posted from time to time
AccuQuiltGo is listed at Amazon.com for 218.00 (seller is Fabric Hut) and at Sew Vac Direct for 199.99 (they have good deals on other stuff, too) Check "best price" retailers at nextag.com for just about anything |
Someone sent me this site the other day
http://jhittlesewing.com/sewing/catalog.php they have alot of things at really great prices they also sell the GO! Batting was a biggie for me too! I just opened an acct with Quilters Dream Batting and am waiting anxiously for my first order! honestly a 30yd roll of batting doesn't last that long! |

The Accuquilt Go - lowest price so far seems to be about $224 6 x 24 ruler - lowest (local) price is $15 Kaufman Kona - white $4.98 (fabric.com) synthrapol & retayne - still looking for best price 108" quilt backings - muslin - Joann's with coupon ?? price feel free to add any items... |
OK, I just want it all :lol: :lol:
Would love to have the space for a longarm -- oh, and the money to buy one! :D |
My Joann's has white bamboo/cotton muslin in bolts, half price, about 35.00. And I love the fabric so much I bought a second bolt. It's thin, but has a marvelous feel and drape and is not see-through. It's also 200 thread count, so I feel good using it for pillowcases. nice and soft.
