That's why I never set my foot in any fabric chain store here. Probably the only one left?
I buy all my fabric and batting online. Just can't afford to buy them here (unfortunately).

JoAnns has the 90" roll (40 yards) for 429.99. The 45" roll (also 40 yards) is 159.99. That means you could get 2 45" rolls for 319.98. That's about $110 cheaper than buying the 90" roll, and you get just as much batting. Admittedly you have to piece it together if you need something between 45" and 90", but I almost always wind up piecing the batting somewhere anyway. I just don't understand the price discrepancy. Per square inch, the 90" roll is about 35% more expensive!

Someone posted during late December/early January that the batting was going to be going up $1 a yard in early February. I don't recall the exact date, but it was early, maybe 2/2 or 2/3.

If you go to item #42, it is warm and natural, 90" x 30 yards for $234.66 = $7.82/yd.

HOWEVER, be aware of the shipping....The Warm Co. ONLY does drop ship now! My friend wanted to order a roll and the shipping quoted to her was $210.00 as it is considered OVER sized now by ALL carriers!

Just because they are a chain, they are not always the best deal in town.

Thanks for the tip. I do normally shop at the smaller independent stores in town, but their batting is definitely more than $20 a metre. I always shop around to get the best deals.
