Funny, I get 5.10375, but no matter. If you order 2 more yards at HoP, the price would go back down to 4.78 per yard since shipping is free once your order hits 200.00 (IOW, the extra 2 yards would be free).

It's still more than a 40% coupon at a chain, true, but who knows if the chain will consider 40 yards one cut when it's made up of several bolts and change (JoAnn's doesn't). At HoP the quality is assured and the bolts are standard 15 yard bolts, not the typical chain store 10 yard bolts. Not everything is always about price alone.

Thanks! I've been crunching the numbers as well and it's looking like the HL coupon is the way to go - it's 4.19/yd (with coupon) and of course there's no shipping. I double checked and Hobby Lobby does sell the Kaufman Kona. Which is good - I loathe JoAnns (I had a bad experience!!).
