Why is fabric so expensive in Canada?
Last year I was buying a batik fabric for $3.49 a yard on Maui. Here in Canada I was shocked in a fabric store to find out the same batik -- same pattern on the fabric -- is $18.99 a yard! And the cotton for quilting is $15.99 a yard and up. I went to another shop -- same price. I went to Walmart and they have changed their packaging. You can't buy fabric off the bolt now. I think it was $11.99 for cotton fabric there. I didn't see any batik. How could there be such a price difference from Maui to Canada? Arizona's prices were low, too, but Maui is usually higher priced due to shipping.
