Now the tricky question...
Nicely done batiks are probably the most expensive fabrics for a shop to buy.
Would $8.50 / yard be too much to ask, do you think?
Be honest please. I don't want to make a mistake...

The rep's coming this afternoon, so I'll be placing my order. Thank you all, very much, for the helpful comments and suggestions. I'll post which ones I ordered later (probably tomorrow). Those of you who actually want to place an order please PM me.
Right now I'm off to our local Panera to buy treats for when the rep comes. This person is rather special to me, as he's the first rep who ever deemed us worthy of a visit. (Reps have limited time on the road and have to choose carefully how to spend that time.) I haven't seen him in several years as he's been battling liver cancer, and this might well be the last time I see him. His wife will be taking over the sales business for him, and it will be my first time meeting her. Have to put on a proper welcome, right?

This is depressing... the rep didn't have any samples to look at, because the fabrics were TOO NEW! So all that's available to look at, for now, is the pictures that I posted.
We did have a nice long talk, so when the samples do come out (which I will probably not get to see :-( ) ... I can ask some good questions along the lines of "exactly what colors are in that one" and "how wide are those bands of color, anyway?"
(sigh)
