I really try not to. I look in the clearance area, ask about sales or discounts, and then if I really love it I will. It's actually hard to find it as low as $9 a yard in a quilt store now. Seems like it's $9.50 or $10.00.

Probably those lucky enough to be able to shop quilt shops pay more for their material. Just like tools, if it is marked for "quilting", it will cost more. Someone said Walmart had material on sale for $1 this weekend. Hubby & I just got back from there. No $1 sale but I got over $30 worth of pretty good quilting fabric for $3.97/yd. Not the cotton you can see through either. Works for me.

I don't know why cotton is so expensive, it is a plant for Pete's sake. You would think that with all the quilter's around buying fabric, that it would be reasonably priced since there must be a ton of it being sold every day. I must be missing something here.
