I think if your making something special and want it to last forever it'll cost you but the LQS might be best depending on $$$ that you can afford. I'm making a king size wedding ring and I want it to last forever because it will be a lot of work and $$$ involved. Take your time and don't rush into buying I think when you go to the store and check out the fabric your hand will know the best fabric for your project. Good Luck. Sue
