It's probably not an unheard-of price point for upholstery fabrics. Those can be very expensive indeed!
|
I would be of interest for a special project or wall art or upolstry fabrics. ... not as fashion or quilting projects....
|
No way Jose! Not for a quilt but it's not a weight for a quilt so I don't have to be concerned, do I?????

One man had his prize racehorse on fabric he used to upholster chairs for his office. Her prices are realistic if you want to design your own creation.

If you click on this story and read through to the 2nd store owner, she talks about regionally inspired fabrics. She's charging $60 a yard, and almost $17 for a fat quarter...would you pay this amount for fabric??? I know I wouldn't... |

Maybe, if it were solid gold, but, then I couldn't sew it. I would never pay that kind of money for anything. Sorry, I'm just tight.

Martha Stewart, take notice!! Sounds like it is just right for her overblown ideas.
|
I thouught the prices were a miss print. then i read the article and had an aneurysm. I would not be able to afford to quilt or sew or even think of buying fabric at that price.
