I have always felt that some of the fabrics at JoAnn's were ok, some weren't. I always feel them. I do prefer quilt shop fabric for most projects. There is fabric called Kona at JoAnns it sure doesn't feel like the really thing to me. My friend who has a small longer business opened her own Checkers Distributors account. You need a vendors license and have a minimum per year amount you spend. They have a good sale on batting every December, free shipping. When you buy fabric you of course have to buy a full bolt. Not sure if this is something you could do or not. My guild get their QOV supplies this way.
