I ask this question seriously - not to be snotty - who do we believe? Some of the articles I've read on the subject say that the big box fabric shops sell lower quality fabric than LQS, and yet I have walked into LQS and seen the exact same fabrics for sale for a couple of bucks more.
It is a lucky thing that we develop a feel for the 'hand' of a fabric after a while!
I totally agree with you. I've seen great stuff at Walmart and terrible stuff in LQS's, although generally speaking it's the other way around. I've received donations of fabric with old fabrics by manufacturers that are known to be inexpensive that were wonderful and some by big name quilting fabrics that were awful. I judge each piece on its own merits!
