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!

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

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