Ditto..
While I do shop online at times.. I ALWAYS hit my LQS first. If we don't support our LQS's they will end up closing which is a LOSE~LOSE for everyone.

One of the classes I took way back when I started quilting was on the quality of "grey goods" which is what fabric is printed on. That was an education and a HALF about staying AWAY from inexpensive (and big box store) fabrics. I will experiment on cheap fabric, but NOT put a lot of time into a quilt using them.
