I know. I have a "touch screen" laptop, and yet I still can't touch the fabric. No fair lol

My LQS isn't big enough to have carts lol I'm thinking yardage from LQS as well because I can buy a half meter, which is 2" bigger than I need, and maybe if I ask nicely they'll square it up a little before they cut it off so then I shouldn't have to lose much to straightening it at home and then I'm only buying 12 meters as opposed to 24 yards. I checked with one local shop (not my usual place but another one) and they have batiks for $17.99 a meter. Don't see that happening lol But I will try with my usual shop, see if they carry them and how many limbs I have to chop off in order to pay for them lol
