Also, Kona Cotton is a registered trademark of the Robert Kaufman Company, so there is no such thing as a knock off. I read the Company response (someone posted a link to it not too long ago) and was quite pleased with the information they supplied.
I believe the quilting fabrics at Hobby Lobby are first quality fabrics, and the quilting cottons are usually 30% off. There is no Hancock Fabrics convenient to me and the LQSs close before I get home from work on weekdays, so I usually buy at HL or JoAnns. I always "pet" the fabrics before I buy them, and if I don't like the feel or "hand", they stay on the shelf. As always, we, as the consumers, have the final say.
