Soft, breathable, and stretchy, modal is a popular fabric choice for activewear, underwear, and pajamas. Modal is a type of rayon made from beech trees. It's a somewhat high-end fabric, as it’s smoother and more durable than regular rayon with limited wrinkling.

How much does fabric on average cost a yard?
depends on the type of fabric anywhere from 1.99 a yard to the most I heard of 145.00 a yard.
It depends on the type of fabric you want. At some discount stores, like certain Wal-Marts or Joann's Fabrics, you can get fabric for $1 per yard. If you're looking for high-end designer (that's home designer, not clothing) fabrics for curtains or furniture you could end up paying several hundred dollars per yard. A reasonable average for what you'd find in any city is probably between $5 and $15 per yard.
When sewing how do you tie off the last stitch?
You can simply back stitch a couple of stitches over the end of the row or remove the material and pull the thread on the reverse of the material. This will pull the bottom thread through the material in a loop. Catch this loop and pull the bottom thread through to the same side of the material where the two threads can be knotted together.
What needles are used in sewing?
I assume that you are speaking of a sewing machine needle size. Sewing with cotton etc., you can use the universal 10/70 for most projects. Remember to change the needle often for best results. ADDITIONAL ANSWER: Needles, thread and fabric are project specific. If you are using a light weight fabric a 70/10 Universal needle should work nicely. However, if you're sewing with denim then you would need a "denim needle" or a universal 90/14 to a 100/16. Medium weight fabrics do well with the Universal 80/12 needle and standard sewing thread you can find in any fabric store. If you are sewing on a stretchy fabric then you need needles designed to slide through the fabric without tearing. And, here again, the size of the needle depends on the weight of the stretchy fabric. If you are sewing on leather, you'll need a leather needle. The best place to learn about needles, thread and fabric is "Threads Magazine" - they have excellent resource guides on their website. Sewmetheway
