I use the fusible fleece by Pellon and it is 3.97 a yard.

I live near the border as well and we pay $3 each way!! They say it is to help with bridge upkeep! My LQS has the fusible fleece for about $13.99 a meter!!! It is crazy how much cheaper things are in the States! But then I feel bad not supporting local business!

We sell it pretty cheap, $6.49/yd for the 987F Fusible Pellon 45 inch wide.

The border crossing fee, each way here for a car, at the Windsor/Detroit Tunnel is $4.25 and at the Ambassador Bridge it is $4.75.

I don't know if Pellon is the same as wonder under but i bought a bolt of it at Joann's the last time I had a 50% off coupon. I think I paid $30.

It's very soft, thin batting/wadding that is generally used if you don't want something to be too thick when finished. It is generally heat bonded on at least one side, sometimes with little dots and sometimes in a grid pattern.It is a good stabiliser for machine embroidery.

One of the fusible ones that I got here two weeks ago was $26 a metre....don't think I will be using it in too many projects at that price!It might be worth a trip to the 'States' to stock - up.

Hi Cindle, I find it's quite often the case, that things in the States are way cheaper than in Canada. They say buy local but I don't appreciate being ripped off. I was looking for a sewing machine table and here at Sears it was $589.00 and for exactly the same thing, same brand at Walmart in the States it was $99.00. Now you can't tell me Walmart is taking a loss on anything they sell and I would have paid $150.00 to $180.00 here for the same thing but 5 times the same price is just foolish. I think with the net now, and net sales people are becoming way more savvy about their buying dollars.

what bothers me about fabricland is you have to buy a membership to get the sale prices I bought some seam 2 seam cuz I wanted to try applique and it was $ 13.00 a metre and it was 12 inches wide. I am seriously going to try buyibg my fabric on line I have no fabric stores wher I live so I have to drive to another town anyway and there is only Fabricland there too.

I am different, I guess, but I don't feel responsible for supporting any shop. I buy all my quilting fabric on-line now and don't give a whit that the LQS charges over $10 US/yd. I don't need the lastest fabrics to make my quilting projects. I'm not paying that much for fabric. I try to shoot for $3/yd. I do have a big stash to pull from. I might change my mind in 20 yrs after I use all that up. I get my notions with Joann's coupons.
