I have found great things at yard sales. Last weekend, I purchased a ton of fabric and patterns for $12 and a quilt holder for $5.00.

Auctions are another way to go! Yardsales I usually reserve for looking for tools and furniture! But if I find one that has good quilitng stuff I definetly take it home with me!

Yards sales are fun. Estate sales not so much. They are alway too pricey, and held by those snobby "professional" folks who think yer money isn't good enough anyway. I know it's gonna be a bad one when I see several folks leaving without a thing in their hands.
If you need it, you will find it at a garage/yard sale!
