Gloria, I agree about the quality of your fabric. If I'm doing a special quilt or bigger project, I will definitely choose my fabrics well. But for alot of the items I do,(I sell my quilt items), these fabrics work just fine. Plus living where I do, I don't have much of a choice. Our Joanns and quilt shops do not carry the types of fabrics I need for some of my items. THanks for the info. Tricia
