I'm with JenniePenny on this one. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when people look down at fabric purchased at Joanns, WalMart, HobbyLobby, etc., vs a LQS. That, and using sheets as backing. I'm so glad we all have choices...if you don't want to do something, don't!
I had a bad experience at LQS where I was taking my beginner classes. I brought in some blocks I made with lesser quality fabric to show and see if they were done properly. I could tell they thought the fabric was inferior and I shouldn't be using it. Oh well.
