Same in north mich

cjomomma 04-16-2011 08:02 AM

I was in our LQS the other day and the prices were from $6.99 to $7.99/yd.

Quiltgranny 04-16-2011 08:06 AM

$11 and up. :( We're in a smallish mountain town, lucky to have one LQS. The Walmart does not sell fabrics. Would have to travel down the pass 30+ miles to visit any other quilt shop. That''s why I buy online and what I can from members here. :wink:

dglvr 04-16-2011 08:17 AM

My LQS is still at $8.95. She doesn't have employees to pay so that keeps her prices down but I hear the price of fabric is going up soon AGAIN so she may be forced to increase. I better stock up now. She carries alot of Moda and a variety of other great stuff. :thumbup:

YukonViv 04-16-2011 08:27 AM

$18.95/metre here in the Yukon (northern Canada).

dgsmom 04-16-2011 08:31 AM

lqs here is $9.99 a yd but she told me when she orders again will be higher because her cost went up.

ann clare 04-16-2011 08:46 AM

Here it is $24.46 (16.95 Euro) per meter

Deb watkins 04-16-2011 08:46 AM

Around $7.99 and up for the better quality. I placed and received my first order from Connecting Threads, very impressed with the quality and selection, will be ordering from them again. Their prices are affordable for me.

RDM 04-16-2011 08:53 AM

Mostly $10-11 a yd. One stores outlet location will have some at $6-7 a yd with limited selection.

lynnsim 04-16-2011 09:19 AM

$9.99 to $10.99. I also order a lot online, especially from Fabric.com. And I've gotten some real deals here on the Forum.

wanderingcreek 04-16-2011 09:56 AM

$18.95/ metre and up here in Edmonton, Alberta. That's why I buy my fabrics online and from members here.

Mattee 04-16-2011 10:24 AM

$11.59 as of this morning.

sak658 04-16-2011 11:25 AM

The small shop my friend has, her highest is $8.99. Still too much for me.

Wow that is really pricey....In the UK I am now paying between £11-12/ metre Yard =36 inches and Metre = 39 inches ....that's between $18-21 ....won't be travelling to Ireland to quilt too soon !
Have you tried buying it from the US...even with postage it is normally still alot cheaper

amyjo 04-16-2011 02:04 PM

Was in the Joann's store in Minot and they have lot of quality q fabric at 3.99 some of the pricier stuff is marked down to 7 & 8. Of course if you want specialty costs a little more. fat qtrs were $.99 each. daffodil dash stuff was 2.99.

jprusky 04-17-2011 02:48 AM

$16.98 and up - that's per metre. Fabric shops in the USA are my downfall!

smagruder 04-17-2011 03:18 AM

YIKES!!!! And we complain.....

Rettie V. Grama 04-17-2011 03:58 AM

Your answers convince me that I am doing the right thing to go to Thrift Stores and buy fabric. At St. Vincents I bought 20 yards for $9.00. At Good Will I bought 2 yards for $2.00 All these are new fabrics. All I need to do is sterilize them and use. I especially look for Crib quilt designs.

I was in Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago and looked over their fabric. It was %5.95 a yard and was like 150 thread count. I wouldn't want it even if they were giving it away. Can you imagine the shrinkage?

Marion Jean 04-17-2011 04:04 AM

We're over $10, and that includes quilting cottons at JoAnn's as well as the LQS. I always check on line, sites like Z & S fabrics, Connecting Threads, e-quilter. I always check out the clearance items on these sites, too. Lately I've been shopping in my stash - about time I start using these fabrics and kits that I just "had to have" LOL

oz-quilter 04-17-2011 04:08 AM

$20-$24 per metre in Australia.
I buy from US even with postage it is heaps cheaper.
Won't be moving, other things make up for it.

Beachbound 04-17-2011 04:17 AM

$10~12 a yard here too. Online shopping has helped but I do love to feel the fabric first. I have a workable stash (a couple 100 yards)that I will be 'shopping' from for a while. If my stash gets any bigger I forget what I have.

fabric_fancy 04-17-2011 04:23 AM

$12 a yard for all non batik cotton
$14 a yard for all batiks.

this is why i only buy online

i get non batik cotton online for 2-6 a yard and batiks for $6 a yard

JanetWall 04-17-2011 04:35 AM

$8.00 To $ 8.50 Clinton Mississippi New Shop opened here. Pretty Fabric. She also has a web site. Great prices.

alapetitechaise 04-17-2011 04:38 AM

I live in mid-Ohio, an easy drive to Columbus, Toledo, Findley and Ft Wayne Indiana. We have 3 very nice LQS with in a short drive plus Walmart and Joannn"s. ALL fabrics are within the neighborhood of $9.99.

pieces 04-17-2011 05:05 AM

$8.99-$9.15
This seems to be the year we all maybe making more scrap quilts using our stash. :thumbup:
We have one LQS to shop, one LQS is going out of business.
We don't have a JoAnns or Hancocks close.
I have recently started ordering from ericas.com because its hard to get a large variety of fabric from one quilt shop.
And its cheaper to pay postage than pay for gas to drive 30-40 miles to shp at JoAnns/Hancocks.

linken 04-17-2011 05:10 AM

$18.00-$22.00, Gimli, Manitoba

ddddd 04-17-2011 05:13 AM

$9.99 to $13.99/yd

hobo2000 04-17-2011 05:22 AM

10.99 to 14.99 a yard new prices that start on May 1st. Omg. I really need to buy 20 or so yards of neutrals quickly and then shop my stash..

Cinderella 04-17-2011 05:42 AM

Quilt shops is $9.49 and up in both TX and PA. I have a Surplus City store where I spend my summers. It is not a chain store so if you have one near you it may not be the same. This is a privately owned store. Anyway, they sell discontinued quilt fabric or first run quilt fabric at $3.49-$4.99. I just bought some a few days ago. Fabric by Michael Miller & Thimbleberries. Purchased 6 yards for $21! They don't have a great variety but can ALWAYS find something...at those prices who couldn't?
