I have puchased two at JoAnn's at that price minus a 40% coupon, of course. Both are worth every penny - hand stamped with beautiful coloring in several shades, not just two colors. Would I pay the $13? No, it's not in my budget. It depends on what you want it for and how bad you want it. I have sewn with $89.95 a yard fabric in the past!! (I didn't pay full price for that, one either).

My thoughts exactly - c'mon up to Canada. Even better, the Canadian dollar is now higher than the USD, making it even more painful. But we do sell by the metre, so you get an extra 3" :)

I bought some while on retreat -- only allowed myself 4 yards (1 yard of 4 fabrics) as they were about $9.75/yard. I was told she had received notification they were going up to $16.50/yard. Guess I will be rationing Batiks until I find a windfall or win the Lottery.

The Legecy ones from JAs are really pretty, I still buy them with coupons, too!

even on the internet you can find batiks and other hand dyes ranging anywhere from $6 to $24 a yard.

The LQS here just got in some very pretty batiks, and the new price is $9.99/yard. When I told her that JoAnn's had some from $12.99 she was shocked.

We have our batiks priced at $8.99 - $9.50 / yard. http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...ik_fabric.html

And they're all very nice batiks, from Hoffman, Kaufman, Timeless Treasures and Moda.

We're trying our best to keep prices down as much as possible on all our fabrics.
