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.
