Start paying attention to fabrics you like, the name of the manufacturer is often in the selvage. I have had very good luck sticking with name brands I like when I buy on line such as Hoffman, timeless treasures, bernatex, red rooster, kona bay, etc. I try to buy mostly LQS when I don't buy on line, I have been sorely disappointed with some JoAnne fabrics with quilts I made in the beginning fading terribly and the fabric literally falling apart. Some Walmart fabs are OK. I have used them for some homespuns if they felt right and were 100% cotton but I have pretty much quit buying my fabric from them too. I don't have a hobby lobby yet. Just saw a sign of one opening near by but really I prefer LQS with on line being second. Sometimes it is hard to tell the true color on line but I still manage to use it :-D
