It seems that the WM's vary from town to town and state to state. We travel a fair amount (full time RVers) and I see some WM's without any fabrics, some that have a nice selection of fairly decent fabrics and just as I do when I go to independent fabric stores, I check the fabric very carefully. I think we all should do that even at JoAnns (maybe I should say especially). It's difficult to be away from areas that have fabric when we enjoy quilting. I just can't seem to get myself to buy fabric online regularly. I enjoy feeling and seeing the true colors. We are lucky in Alabama where I'm spending the winter that we have a Fabrics by the Pound which has quilting cottons by the yard besides the upholstery fabric by the pound. I check it over carefully and buy what I need. $6.29 lb with my quilt guild membership card. Not bad at today's cotton prices.
