I buy by the bolt as its easier for me due to no fabric stores nearby. The store I do order mine from gives me a 30% off so can't beat that. I used to use W & N but have gone to Hobbs 80/20 and I like it much better. Seems more dense than the W & N. As I have some scraps left from the W & N I have to be careful when I decide to piece mine together to make a larger one.
