the response to this was recently reposted. Companies will not sell 2 versions of their fabric under the same name. It hurts their brand. They may produce a 'lesser' quality fabric to sell a discount locations, but it will have a different name or at least a different line. In the beginning, trust your gut. Feel the fabric, look at it, it is very thin and see thru, you will not be happy with it. You do not have to buy very expensive fabric, there are many midrange fabrics that will work for you, especially as you are learning. Your particular tastes will develop. If I have a print that I absolutely love, I will deal with some difficulties (example would be heavy quilting with batiks). But if I am making a commission quilt with a color or print I do not like, it doesn't matter how 'nice' the fabric is, I will have a hard time working with it!
