Big price hike !!!!
I went back into Everything Calico after she had done her $3.00 a yd.grand opening on all her fabrics.Well I thought not bad she only raised the price to $4.00 a yd. Still a great bargain.Imagine the sticker shock I got when I went into the site today & all fabric is now $8.00 a yard.Guess I won't be shopping there again.I ordered once during the grand opening & for $3.00 a yard I was OK with it ,although alot was from Joanns.

That is a big price increase and pretty hard to swallow. Unfortunately for me, it would still be a great deal as in my neck of the woods good quality cottons are running anywhere from $12.99 to $21.99 per meter ( 39 inches in length as opposed to 36 inches in a yard). Fortunately, there are some great online site that have much better prices (even including the shipping charges and border duties).

$3/yard is waaaaay less than cost if the fabrics are all new. She would go out of business if she left them there! If they are used or consignment-type items....that is a different story. If they are fresh bolts, I get it.

Thanks for letting us know, I was thinking about going out there to see if she had any new stuff but looked like the same as when she started. I will be taking it off my list, I got some from her when she first opened and was a little disappointed that everything was Joann's.

Ummm... you do know that quilt-shop fabrics cost around $5.50 / yard at the wholesale level. Even if you get them when discontinued, they're still at or above $3 / yard, plus shipping. So... the only thing this shop could possibly be selling at that price point is - you guessed it - the same fabrics that you will find at the chain stores, among their budget choices.

Pat, I think the point is that she is not selling quilt shop fabrics, just lower priced goods from chain stores.
