I am in the group that buys what I like no matter where I find it. My rules for buying fabric do not vary regardless of where I am shopping: good hand, not thin, colors I enjoy working with (or something I need for a project) and a print where the prints "look right". I made an exception for some Curious George fabric -- it was thinner than I like and it I put any pressure on an edge it rips like paper (since it was for an I Spy quilt, I ironed on a light weight interfacing to the back). I find that a lot of the character fabric DGS love is not the quality I like to work with so I hold my nose, buy it and make it work.
