You really have to watch the fabric at JoAnns. What looks nice from a distance is usually very thin when you get up close. I refuse to buy those!! However if I have a coupon, I'll look at the nicer fabrics. Usually just buy seam rippers, Best Press, buttons or something else. I need to shop from my stash more often than buying new, unless it comes from an ol-line shop that I know has good quality fabric.
