Quality of Kaffe Fassett Fabrics
#11
I have used quite a bit of his fabric (bought a couple of fat quarter bundles and half yard assortments) and did not think it was any different than most of everything else I've got.
However - I thought that the company that was making his fabric went out of business a year ago, and then another started up and what I bought a few years ago may be very different than what is being sold right now.

While sorting thru a lot of Laurel Burch fabrics collected over a period of years I found the quality (hand) to vary a great deal. When I asked I was told that the pattern was purchased (or whatever it is called legally) but what quality of cotton goods it is printed on can vary. This may be what you're seeing.

I have a lot of Kaffe quilt kits but I haven't made any of the quilts so don't know the quality of the fabric. I buy the quilt kits to put up and then sell on Ebay after that fabric line is gone. I can get triple the price for the kit so there are many who love his fabric and the quality.

I don't think thinner is necessarily bad, and in fact, can mean a higher thread count. I love the thin, papery feel of some Art Gallery fabrics. I'd be more concerned about a fabric that felt thick and coarse over one that feels thin and silky.
