after the show in Oaks, Pa i went to sauder's and got some fabric. if you buy the bolts upstairs the price is $3.50 py. some bolts are 8 yds and some are 15. they won't cut them. no solids. i bought 4 bolts. :mrgreen:

the pre-cuts and bolts downstairs ranged from $2.99 on the bolt - they cut those - to $3.99. on the cuts the prices ranged from $1.99 to $3.99 - they won't cut and the pieces are between 4 and 9 yards. the precuts seemed very outdated to me. they had the solids on the bolt, but i didn't notice the price.

when you walk in, the precuts in the main room are about $6.99 py. the batting is a good price, but they don't have every size. the flannel is a good price. baby flannel only and precut.

if you google sauder's, there's a link to get onto their mailing list for sales, including zook's. that is something NOT to be missed. the prices go even lower and the choices are greater.

i don't like zook's. i think their prices are too high to warrant the trip from new jersey. imo, you can do better online if you order enough to get no shipping.
