Well, it sounds like it is about the same everywhere. I have noticed that Hancocks fabric is priced between 4.99 and 9.99. They run it on sale a LOT. When it is 50% off it is about what it is really worth. Their better fabrics rarely go on sale. I still try to wait until Hancocks or Joannes has a sale, but the LQS fabrics are SO much nicer. but average about $9.50/yd.

Around 7.00 to 9.00 a yard at the LQS. There is an outlet called Fabric and Craft World here in town that runs fabrics at 4.00 to 5.50 a yard. They are close-outs or from 2 seasons ago but it is all 100% cottons from known makers.

$22- $26 per metre here in Australia and going up. Our dollar is almost the same as yours at the moment.

went to a LQS the other day looking at Batiks,the cheapest were 9.00 a yard.the highest that i saw was 10.95 a yard

Over here in the UK it is approx £10 - £12 on average.

I was just in a store today in SE Florida. The owner was explaining that the new bolts were being marked $10.25, and that the batiks would $11.50.

The question a lot of shop owners have is will the prices go down after the industry recovers from this cotton "shortage" (mostly due to bad climate). So she's holding off buying for a few months to see how it plays out.

$11.50 - Yikes!

Crochet,
Are you talking about Batiks Galore? I love that place!!

All we have left here are JoAnns and Hancock. Now more Walmart. Quilt shops are few and far between and $9 to $15.

This is why I buy online from America. Sadly, I couldn't afford to quilt if I bought local :(

Who is the Batik only shop?
