check out stitch-n-frame.net for batiks....GREAT prices in the sale sections!
I can buy wholesale and I can tell you that if you are paying more than $12 per yard for TOP name (Hoffman, Moda, Timeless Treasures(which can be IFFy at best), you are paying too much..if there is NO name on the end of the bolt, you should not pay more than $8 as they are low end goods.

I seen the same type of prices for the new bolts in the LQS. However, as most of the online shops have been posting an article about how cotton prices have soared due to flooding, etc.
Just shop carefully. Several websites still have older stock with lower prices.

I have a stash to die for. How did I get it? Over the years
I have bought all kind of kits and fabric on sale. the kits
usually had a pattern I didn't like but the fabrics are of the best quality and lines. I do my own things with these
fabric collections. This includes batiks. I'm so glad I've always done this what with the price of fabric now. I will
just sew to my hearts content now and not have to buy for a
long time.

The highest I've seen for batiks is $11.99 a yard. But most of the ones I've seen are a few bucks less than that. And these were at quilt shops as I don't shop at Hancock's or other fabric chain stores (for the most part I can't find anything I need to leave with at those stores).
