Cost of LQS Fabric
 
Asking for wisdom here. I have a chance to visit 2 LQS next week. I've only ever been to 1 before, but was amazed at the price of fabric there. What is a "reasonable" price to pay per yard without coupons or sales? & Yes I understand that you get what you pay for, quality issues, etc, but please share your suggestions & experiences! Thank you!

In my area (Northern Virginia) about $10-$14

I love Moda fabrics - if I can get it for $10/$11 per yard, I feel I got a bargain.

Canada here. The low price here would be $12.99 per metre (39"). The norm for good fabric seems to be $16.99. I saw some this week for $19,99 and it wasn't special. I find better prices from Hancock in the states, even with charges. Good luck !

I like to buy from LQS's, price of the fabric and notions helps cover everything else you get there.
You get personal help in color/fabric selection, advice about your pattern if you need it, and more.
If we don't use them, we will lose them. I do not buy everything in Shops as it is not always possible to get there, but I try.

i generally only go when there is a sale and then try not to pay more than $8. if my disposable income was not an issue, i'd pay the price if i liked the fabric.

$15 to 20 here for regular priced fabric. I only buy on sale for borders and backs and try to use my stash. The LQS have priced themselves right out of business in my opinion.
