I talked to my mother in law(I'm so lucky) and children. Some of them live in larger towns than I do and they said they will check yard sales and estate sales for fabric and call me and I think that should help.
BTW DID YOU KNOW THERE IS A 250% MARKUP FROM WHOLESALE ON FABRIC?????? Maybe it should be less????
Basics economics: Supply down, price up;supply up price down. Only the consumer can adjust that.
