It might be more beneficial for you to shop at 'quality' retailers in that case. And the list of 'questionable quality' fabric retailers is way shorter, and easier to remember, than the list of 'quality' fabric manufacturers will ever be.
A highly praised fabric shop, local or online, will not consciously sell inferior quality merchandise. They just aren't willing to mar their reputation in order to undersell the competition. Look at the shops named on your other thread. Odds are that any fabric you purchase from any of those shops will meet your 'quality' standards. And if it doesn't, most of them will work with you to make it right.
If you want to be extra safe, go with Keepsake Quilting. They have a no quibble guarantee. You can return any purchase at any time for any reason, no questions asked.
