What is the average price per yard at your LQS? I think mine is $9.50 for prints from all the different mills.

$9.75 right now. in Clifton Texas. If you factor in sales prices, it is less.

That's right about what ours is too I think.

I've been going to Waco and didn't know there was a shop in Clifton. Where is it? Or what is the name and I'll look up the address. Glad to find one closer to where I live. I'm outside of Kopperl.

We have reached $9.89 for reg LQS and $8.50 for Batik only quilt shop.

$6.99, $7.99 and up!

At least $15/yd.

I just found the store in December. It's Quilting Cousins in Clifton. They have a website! Plenty of fabrics and notions too. We're "neighbors" - will send you a PM.

here it is $16 a meter and up :(

I think $9.75 for regular $10.50 and up for flannel and batiks more than both of those, though I haven't been to my local quilt store since before Christmas so the prices may have gone up again by now.

It ranges from $8 - $11 at the local quilt shops. I stick to buying fabric at the discount fabric store, where I can get stuff for $2 a yard.

7.99-10.99 per yard but all high quality fabrics.

$8-$11 a yard here at our LQS.

$10.95 and they are still going up, I was afraid to look at the batiks :(

$8-11 for the good stuff, $6 for the sales.

I don't think we have a LQS in Corpus....I get all my material from wal-mart; JoAnn's or Hancock....

$10-12+ here in West Central Minnesota

The price in my shop for regular cotton fabric starts at $4.50yd, $5.95 yd for printed batiks, and $7.95 yd for regular batiks. We also have a saleroom where it starts at $2.49yd and goes to $3.99 yd. Of course new lines of fabric are higher, although we keep them to around $8.00 yd.

I was in a local shop on Sat. after a quilt meeting. Most were marked $12.00 a yd. There was a bargain corner where fabric was $7.00 a yard. I just can't get use to these higher prices.

Around $4 a yard for 100% cotton for quilting. Moda & Thimbleberry are more expensive.

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?

$11.00 per yard, I don't buy fabric there.

The LQS here had mostly $9.50 yd on everything two weeks ago. Not sure now.

$9.50 but they always have some fabric on the sale table and also a flat fold area(5.50-$7.50). Mostly use those for backings. They also get some fabric packs on the 30% off table. They get a bargain and pass it on to the customer.

$20+ per metre and getting dearer. Also have just heard that the local cotton producing area has just lost its crop for a second time to floods so I guess that will have a big impact on prices.

$9.50 a yard and $10.00 for batiks. I buy as much as possible on sale and wholesale.

Ours is about $8.00 to $11.00 a yard here too. One lady is adding on to her store, way more batiks, all are 9.00 to 11.00.

Same here, even with specials of $15 - $18 p/m in Aus it's cheaper online including freight unfortunately.

I work 1 day a week at a lqs. The average price there is around $9. However, yesterday we got some new fabric in, and after working out the cost plus shipping it is $10.70. Wow! Looks like the price increase has hit.

Around 15 euro per metre, which is why I prefer to order from America when I can.

Usually runs about $8 to $10 a yard. But they tend to run quite a few sales which can be a big help.
