just like everything else.... there is good quality in "name brands" and there is poor quality in " name brands".
I pick up the best fabrics where I can at the best prices I can.....
Many of my fabrics are donated at well... ( Bless everyone that donates fabrics to my American Veterans Project!!)
I have received some fabrics that were not of the best qualities... or prehaps were repurposed and have small stains.... I put those a side to use as foundation fabrics for crazy quilt blocks and for practicing FMQ.... rarely does ANYTHING go to waste....... I even save my crumbs/clippings/threads for stuffings for soft toys for the little ones....
