Really, I see now that I need to narrow it down to a fabric line first, then order just one color card. I should rule out Kaufman Kona. I bought half a yard at the LQS. The color is perfect, but the hand seems heavy to me. All of the solids seem to be broadcloth, but I was hoping for a finer hand.
If anyone who has worked with two different lines can describe the difference, that would be very helpful!
if you are going to be machine embroidering the blocks, then what you really need to know how each fabric will do with the embroidery! For example, the hoffman batiks, might not do as well as say the Kona solids! Also the embroidery might not look as nice on a marble as a solid! you need to order some 1/2 cuts and play first then make the big purchase!
