$240 a yard � someone is ripping you off.  I wouldn�t pay that much a yard
for drapes for a palace!  You should be able to get good quality drapery
material for a tenth of that.  I don�t know where you live, but here in
Vancouver, BC, I�d head for Fabricland.  If you�re in the US, you probably
have many more retail fabric stores available to you than we have here.
Check out your local yellow pages.

Happy hunting,
Katherine
