I have found that the Kona cotton sold at JoAnn's and the Kona cotton sold at quilt stores is not the same at all. The stuff at JoAnn's is thinner, a more open weave, and very often has been colored with cheaper dyes. The color names and stock numbers on the JoAnn's bolts are not listed as part of the Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton line. It is cheaper at JoAnn's for a reason! (True Kona Cotton IS broadcloth, Patty, as are the new Moda Bella solids.)
