Joannes, along with most of the big box stores carry a variety of grades of fabrics. Although I don’t buy a lot of fabric at joannes I do usually purchase the ( staples) there....muslins bleached and natural mostly. They carry some I consider ( utility fabric) that is quite thin. I use them for tracing patterns, and for foundations. They also carry really good muslins, better than I’ve found in some quilt shops. I have spent big bucks at reputable quilt shops for fabrics that were really not good quality. Each store has their good and not so good- and a range of price points.
