I do not have much of a stash at all. I can hardly afford material as it is. This will be hard on me. I might have to start using clothing from goodwill.

Well that's a shame...Although I could probably make quilts til I'm 150yrs old from my stash..SHHHH don't tell on me.

Mine is eight pounds. I would need a whole team to pull me...
Could get a bike, but hopefully we don't live where they want to require license plates and register it like vehicles.

Seriously though, how many places will go out of business if this happens???

I agree, will be tough on businesses as well as us!

Having heard about the price increase, I have bought a lot of fabric in recent months to hold me for awhile.... plus I do sew a lot of scrap quilt tops, anyway sounds like this would be a good year to learn to quilt on my machine, with all of the tops I have stored away this could keep me busy for a long, long time
