While there were some cut prints, I didn&#8217;t end up buying any.

There were pieces laying on tables consisting of 2-6 yards of fabric. They would cut pieces off, so if you wanted only a half yard, you could get that. If you bought the whole piece, however, they would give you a dollar off PER YARD! If you need backs, this is the place to go.<\/p>\n<p>The store had knits, flannels, various polyesters, suiting fabrics and basically anything any sewist would want. If you are on a budget, you should definitely visit.<\/p>\n<p>On our way to the next store, we got a little Amish Country ambiance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36595\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36595\" style=\"width: 248px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1493519417894..jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-36595\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1493519417894.-248x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Amish Country Ambiance\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1493519417894.-248x300.jpeg 248w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1493519417894.-768x930.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1493519417894.-845x1024.jpeg 845w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1493519417894.-1200x1453.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/wp-1493519417894..jpeg 2032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 85vw, 248px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36595\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amish Country Ambiance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, the past 2 or so weeks have been an embarrassment of riches in terms of fabric shops.
