I personally do not buy much quilting fabric @ Joann's...I find majority of the fabric to be of a much lower quality than my LQS - and if I watch sales there, and @ Hancocks of Paducah - I can get top notch fabric for less than Joann's.....I have been told over and over - buy the BEST QUALITY fabric that you can afford.....the cheaper fabrics ( for the most part) do not wear as well nor hold up as well........
