Batting at Jo-ann's? that's where my coupons usually go. Got some Warm & Natural for 40% off and glad to get it.
The fabric I got had a good feel to it. I did put some back that was stiff.

I have wondered about the quality of JoAnn's top fabric vs the LQS. There are a couple of groups that I like but the feel is generally not as good and there's no way I'd pay $12 per yard! But sometime the hours or selection wins my business...

I, too, have only bought some with the 50% off coupon. Better fabric than that is available on clearance at LQS for half that price.

Your Joann's isn't anything like mine that's for sure. The clerks at my Joann's always oooh and ahhh over my things. My favorite clerk will even fudge a bit and make sure I always get enough of the fabric if it's been cut crooked. When I've fussed at her about it she'll tell me in a hurry she doesn't want me to have to come back and complain because it wasn't cut right.
Love my Joann employees!!! In fact, no close enough LQS for me. So I have no choice but to go to Joann's

This is why I love our local Hobby Lobby! Not only does the usual lady-at-the-table ("clerk" just doesn't sound right) know fabrics . . . she makes quilt tops! She knows the fabric and knows what does/doesn't hold its color, etc. I love going there! Unfortunately, my "local" QS is over 30 miles away (but I love it, too).

$12.99 at Joanns ! Who'd have ever thought ??
and I remember when I though $6-7 yd was high ! HAH
No thanks ! I'll pay $10.00 yd at my LQS, enjoy the visit, and help keep a LOCAL business in business !!
