10-27-2015It's probably not an unheard-of price point for upholstery fabrics. Those can be very expensive indeed!

For something like you describe, I just might do it... Just for a piece of fabric though? Probably not :D:D:DOriginally Posted by hobo2000
I own a sign shop and my big machine is capable of printing on fabric. It wholesales at 3.00 per sq. ft. thats 27.00 per yard without the cost of the fabric. I have done complete wedding scenes 5'x9' for 150.00. scarves for 40.00 with babies at different ages. Many things people want on fabric. 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...
I live about 45 minutes from there and never have been. I wonder who buys it. This area is a bit depressed too!Originally Posted by blzzrdqueen

It's not an outrageous price for upholstery-weight canvas, but I'm not in that league. I do occasionally go to spoonflower.com and drool over the gorgeous and funky fabrics there and their prices are comparable, $18/yard for quilting cotton. Maybe someday when I have too much money! ;D

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.

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.
