Cloth is usually measured by the linear yard not the square yard, most rolls of fabric are 36 inches wide. So if it works out to $29 a linear yard then that is a figure that makes sense. One of the chevron patterned Philco cloths would be a good one to start with as you could produce and sell 20 or more yards easily. Another good one would be the cloth used in Philco 70 and 90 sets, because of the pattern used almost all of the 36'' width would be useful.
