I am fortunate to live in PA where there are lots of fabric stores so if you find a store that sells good stuff at a lower price, just go there. I usually get stuff on sale except when I just really, really have to have that fabric! As for Joanne's, you have to look hard to find the good fabrics as a lot of them are kind of flimsy. For some quilts I had to go online as no one carried the fabrics I was looking for. Padukas of Kentucky is a good store and they do have good sales and the price of shipping is not too bad if you consider the gas you would have used looking all over for that fabric which no one had anyway.
