I love the Moda fabrics but really don't have a brand preference as long as the fabric is a good quality.

I'm not familiar with the Moda Bella, but I can tell you I don't care for using Kona solids for hand applique. its thick.

I love the Kona and buy it if I can find the right colors. I have bought others and have not been as pleased with it as Kona. I am not sure if I have ever bought moda.

I like the feel of Moda Bella better than the Kona.

I like the Moda Bella fabrics better as I haven't had any problems with them bleeding as so with the Kona Solids. Just my take on the subject.

Are the Kona fabric you buy at JoAnn Fabrics the same as you get online?

Yes they are .. Kona is a registered trademark of Robert Kaufman. Sometimes at Jo'anns they do wind some fabrics on bolts that are not the correct bolt when there are just a few yards or there are pieces wound onto a bolt. I buy it by the bolt or nearly full bolt at Jo'Anns so I get the real Kona.
