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.

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???

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
