We were in Daphne, Alabama also and they take all the fabrics and put them in comforter bags. I went into the store about a month ago and bought 3 bags full for $5.99 each. One of the bags had about 7 yards of black velveteen and 5 yards of red velveteen plus some beautiful drapery fabric which I will use for purses and totes. Some of the great fabric I might sell here on the board once I get home.

None of the goodwill stores that I "haunt" ever have fabric and I have never seen a sewing machine there.....how can they put these (sewing machines) on line for auction....wonder what store they grab them for. Besides that though it seems many of the things offered are a bit overpriced. I have seen the same stuff on shelves for a long time....

I never find good fabric at the thrift stores.....until this past Monday. Found 2 bags, each $2.99. They contained some yardage and some cutoffs. Also lots of lame and a couple of other fabrics....those will find a new home with a crafter who makes doll clothes. I'll deliver them to her this weekend.
The one fabric I remember using in the past. Now I will be able to use it for my little granddaughter!!! It is such a girly girl fabric.

Congrats on your find...Isn't it fun to find a good deal and cheap.....I go to the thrift stores often with my friend and it is surprising all the good things we find.....

Yesterday I took a stroll thru one of the larger chain thrift stores and OH MY, they certainly are proud of their items. They have recently moved to a larger location with better lighting and the store is very well organized but their prices are pretty silly for a thrift store. I was specifically looking for baskets and they had some, but price-wise I can buy new ones at the dollar store. I find that the "independent" thrift/second-hand stores have more reasonable prices...at least in my area.
