Ofcourse if it says LQS in the swap rules you might want to contact the host and see what he/she thinks.

I agree...and I believe that on this board, swaps are required to be open to all levels of sewing and cannot limit you as to where you shop. If people feel strongly about what fabric they receive, then
they probably should not join swaps.
