No matter which fabric manufacturer makes the cloth or which store sells it, I go by the touch feel. I will not mention the name, but I know of one fabric company which sells a line of its fabrics to LQS and sells a different line to stores like Joann Fabrics, Wal-Mart, etc. Some manufacturers do the first run or runs of a fabric design on less expensive fabric before doing subsequent runs on quilt store quality fabrics. The first runs are sold to stores such as Joann's and so on.
