i just reread that link. i'm sorry, but there is definitely a difference in quality between kona fabrics. if not, then you have to lock a lot of us up, because i'm not the only one who noticed the difference. it's also true that joanns does not sell the higher-quality kona. again, many agree with me. if they're not getting it from kauffman, why does it say "KONA"? i've gotten kona from many places and the quality has been of 2 levels - definitely! the good online stores and good LQS all have higher quality kona - better drape, closer weave, better washability - and the cheap chains (we know who they are) do not. what they do have is filled with sizing, stiff as a board, see-through, and gets limp when washed. imo, not decent quilt quality for the hours i spend on my work. especially for the same price per yard. if you believe what you read, we'll have to agree to disagree.
