$240 a yard ‹ someone is ripping you off.  I wouldnšt 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 donšt know where you live, but here in
Vancouver, BC, Išd head for Fabricland.  If youšre 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
