you are learning that find this stuff is a real treasure hunt. Just because
a fabric is available in ready made, does not mean you can find it easily in
yardage.

Yup. It's all new to me. I just thought I'd trip on down to my local
fabric store and pick up a pile o' fancy fleece -- who knew it was so
complicated? (My local fabric store doesn't even sell fleece, as it's a
store for quilters, but they do sell the best looking printed cottons
I've ever seen.)
