I go to Marshall's a lot. The name brand fabric is the same as in a quilt shop and there is no reason not to order those online, but the MDG fabric some are great some not so great. It's good quality but the feel and some of the colors are rather blah. I have to feel and see MDG fabric before I will buy it. I do love the Dream Cotton. It's the same as Moda Bella. It does ravel some but so does Moda. Why spend more ? If you call a rep you can buy a bolt at wholesale price without a tax number. I keep bolts of white, muslin, black, and gray of Dream cotton. Those are my basics and less then $2.50 a yard on the bolt.
