I know I sound like a pessimistic old lady (which I am) but remember "quilting cotton" and quilting products are a very big business right now and the ad people know just which button to push to get you to buy their product. If we can buy gadgets for quilting at places like Harbor Freight, we shouldn't feel guilty about buying fabrics for our quilts from another section of the fabric store, or made to feel that we have to go to the LQS in order to make a beautiful, useful quilt. We all really need to use our well earned common sense.
