    the "good" news is that their new prices are still significantly lower than any other vendor of fabrics as nice as theirs.

    and don't forget ... when you buy their precut fats, strips and squares the per yard cost is the same as for regular yardage. no confusing pinked edges and no cutting fee. :-)

    no. i don't own stock. i'm just a fan. :lol:

    I got the email too, and I have to admit, I felt a little teased. They just lowered their prices, now they're going back up! :(

    I didn't get this e-mail! So, maybe I can live in my imaginary world a little longer.

    I agree. They just made a big deal out of lowering their prices and then just a few months later go back up? It isn't as if something drastic just happened in the last month to make it no longer profitable for them to keep their prices as is. I think they're just going with the flow of other companies. Yes their prices are still lower than those other companies, but I'm not sure I like the way they just handled this price drop and raise.
