I use to buy at Cloth World(now Joann's) and Hancock Fabrics along with LQS but have given away all CW and HF fabrics and don't buy at Joann's or Hancock for their fabric...The feel to me is different...I would rather pay for fabric in my local QS and know that if there is a problem they will work with me...Also LQS will always help with your problems...At least at my Joann's that is not the case as they just work there!!!
