Um, Hancock's anyone?

They list prices on their website by the half yard, which I never did get an real understanding of why they chose to do that when they put in their new system a few years ago.

I have noticed quilt shops doing that too - selling in 1/2 yard or 1/3 yard cuts

The same thing happened to me so now, like you, I really pay attention.

A few years ago I got so excited when I thought I had found a good deal at an online shop .... it took several "add to the carts " clicks before I caught on it was priced by the 1/2 yard. I quickly ended my shopping. I am soo much more aware now to look at how the fabric is priced then ever.
I will admit I came very close to the check -out and payment , without ever realizing I was not going to be getting full yards.
I am not a fan at all of pricing that is less than full yard pricing.

Like I need encouragement. I've been glued to my laptop all morning perusing the different online fabric shops looking for some deals. They aren't as good as they used to be either!
