i am also a devoted Kona Solids user- i have never had any raveling problems- or rough fabric- all of the Kona solids i have ever used were very good even colors, no fading, bleeding; soft (and like most cottons just get better/softer with age/laundering) and the prices are very reasonable too- i generally purchase Kona solids for $2-$3 per yard less than other quilting fabrics. if i don't dye my own i buy Kona. i've had a few others over the years have never been all that impressed- colors either run- are not true- fade and they tend to be more expensive.
