I only buy Moda online rarely any other brand unless I'm looking for something specific. I don't have a LQS so I buy charm packs and when I get them I look thru the fabric and order off them what I need in yardage. Some would say it's a pricey way to do it but I always get what I want and really what can't you do with a charm pack??? If other manufacturers sold charm packs I would try them too. I also trust the members on the board for fabric sales.
