I went on that Hancocks website. That fabric for $5 doesn't state who the manufacturer is. I used to shop at a Hancocks way back when I lived in Michigan. I would say the fabric was comparable to Joann's. If it doesn't have a manufacturers name on it I like to feel of it. If it is Kaufman or Moda, or one of the others I know it will have a good hand. But if I don't know who the manufacturer is I don't know if it is stiff, flimsy, etc. Makes me hesitate to spend on it.
