I have a problem understanding the whole fat quarter thing. When the big store runs a sale for $1.50 for a fat quarter, that means it is $6 a yard. This means you could buy fabric that is $11.99 per yard with a 50% coupon - not a great savings. I buy most of my fabric either on sale at 60% or a 60% coupon or scrounge online stores for as big a deal. Because I sell my products, I work very hard to never pay more than $5 per yard and often less. This does not mean I buy garbage fabric, it just means I work at it like a business. I have bought more expensive 'special' fabric when I am making a gift or a special order for a customer who wants to have a particular fabric, but not for regular product. And I sell a lot of products! If this person found good fabric in fat quarter bundles of 6 for $5, then yes it is a deal. But folks come into my big fabric store and are so excited about buying a few fat quarters when they are $2 or $3 each..........a puzzle.......
