I tell a good fabric (meaning one I want to put in a quilt) by feeling it and then I hold it up to the lights in the store. If a LOT of light shines through it's a no go for me. Don't care who designed it or if it's the most expensive. The weave has to be fairly tight so it will sew well. Just me. I'm sure others have different ways of deciding whether or not to buy.
