I have not had a problem with the labels, could be the dry climate here in Phx.
I now buy most of my fabric online. Love Quilt in a Day fabric frensy, it is top quality and some at 3 bucks a yrd. Cant beat that. I buy my backing fabric from that selection. She has so much fabric on sale that you always find plenty to buy.
Also like fabric depot and sometimes Hancock of Paducah.
Hobby Lobby here in Phx has a small fabric department with good prices but it is a drive so dont go very often.
Joanns is still my old standby when trying to match a fabric I already have. It is imposible to find matches online. Last resort is local fabric shops, way out of my price range.
