I buy from both LQSs and Jo-Anns. In fact, I just bought some more horse-themed Christmas fabric from Jo-Anns only yesterday. I used this fabric last year to make a wall quilt for one of my riding friends and absolutely love it.
Sure, the quality at Jo-Anns can be variable, but so can the quality from LQSs. I have received some free with order FQs from LQSs that were way worse than anything I have ever seen at Jo-Anns.
