I have been warned that one should never use fabric from Joanne Fabrics for a quilt.

Some of the reasons are: The thread count can be irregular. The dyes can run. The pattern may not be the same throughout the piece. So, what does anyone say about that? Does anyone have real experience with fabric from Joanne's?

Use the search feature above, there have been a million threads about Joannes. I buy most of my non-fabric related supplies there.

I buy 80% of my fabric from JoAnn's and I've never had a problem.

I like it too. I LOVE the 40 percent off coupons. Never had a problem either.

I buy from Joannes fabrics quite often. I've never had a problem either, Just have to know what you are buying.

Thats right, feel the fabric, really look at it. You can find great stuff anywhere, and icky stuff anywhere, too!

I use JoAnns quilting fabric since I am a beginner and don't want to spend $9.00 a yard for first quilts which I may ruin. They have just started to carry more quilting fabric here which seems to be of better quality. It normally runs from $8.99 to $12.00 but I use a 40 or 50% off coupon. I have looked at the LQS for fabric and found some that was discounted. Seems no matter who or where a person buys fabric it has to be looked at closely to see if it is nice quality. We have a new quilt shop that opened close to me and when I stopped to see what they were carrying I was very disappointed. Fabric is going up in price at all places around here. I have a god stash but always ready to buy more if I find a good deal.

I have made only one quilt from LQS fabric. The rest of my fabric is Joann's with a couple from Walmart. I have no trouble with the fabric there. I love Joann's. Some people have other standards. Everyone should buy the fabric they like and go from there.

Amen!

I have never had a problem with Joanne's fabrics. In think their quality has improved. If I don't like the weight of the fabric, can see through it, etc. then I don't buy and keep looking.
