Jo Ann's has had the felt on sale for the last couple of weeks. If you check out the remnents...they have lots of colors for just a few cents ( sale price plus 50% off ) Check it out if you are at a Jo Ann's.
Yes , this is what I do also and I also buy the fleece this way. It really saves a lot. Some of the check out girls don't know how to ring it up as it does not scan.
