Help! How much batting on a bolt? General Discussion

Fingers crossed! 
Kind of odd that there isn't a place on the end of the bolt that would state how many yards are on it...

I looked but didn't see anything. It said the width, the brand, the composition, etc. No length. Some of the packages were already opened as people bought yardage. I might have to get a partial one, but it's still at a good price.

Let us know how many yards you get! I'm sure there'll still be some left today.

OK. I got a bolt of 15 yards for $116.85; regular price was $194.85. It's Hobbs Heirloom Batting, 80/20, a blend I like a lot for my quilts. The good side: it's so nice to be able to cut to fit and not have large pieces left over. The bad side: the roll takes up a lot of room!

Wrap a quilt around it and stand it in a corner of a room somewhere. Does not have to be in your sewing room.

Surprisingly, they didn't measure! But when I checked out and the clerk scanned the barcode, she told me the price was $10.10. I asked her was that correct? And she said yes, it was $12.99 originally and was on sale for 40% off, $7.79. I said but it is 15 yards. So she scanned again and the true price came up. She just said-- and I am not kidding--Oops! Darned conscience.
