Actually, I did gt some quilt fabric the other day at Joann's because it was the right color. I prewashed it as I do with anything that goes into a quilt. I used it for fusible appliqué and I was so disappointed in it. The fabric was so much more loosely woven than the fabrics I have purchased at LQS and the "hand" became so soft after washing that it was harder to work with. I mostly get LQS fabric, but after reading here on this board that members say Joann's fabric is getting better, I thought I'd try it. But after this, I think I'll stick to LQS fabric.
