I understand that fabric prices, just like everything else, are going up. The thing that bothers me the most, and our local quilt shop is guilty of this very thing, is when you see an older bolt of fabric on the shelf with a new price tag on it. Talk about price gouging!!!!

I know what you are taking about.
I don't buy like it use to.
I have started buying at joAnn because of the new prices
I would not but at joann before, I think thiers is just not the same as a quilt store

What I don't understand is why I can buy 5 pack of Fiscar 45 mm rotary blades for 15.99 at Walmart and the SAME pack of blades cost 25.99 at Joann.

One thing I worry about is what about new quilters. I am a new quilter and I signed up for a FW quilt along. Well, I bought a piece of fabric for the border that is directional. I said... I wasn't sure about cutting it and they said - when the time comes we'll help you. If you have any trouble this month we'll help you. The other shop I frequent a lot is the same way. You can go or call with a question and I love the ladies that work there, so sometimes I stop in to see what's new and just have a quick chat. Not take up too much time or if I know there is a sale in progress I just have a look around and move on. I like to shop in my pajamas, but you just don't get the help that you need when your a newbie.
