Does fabric quality differ?

That depends on the manufacturer and fabric. Could be as little as 8 or 9 and as much as 14 or 15. Kinda seems crazy; would be nice if the industry was consistent. Just like the width of fabric. Sometimes you get only 42" of usable fabric and sometimes 44" or somewhere inbetween! Good thing quilters are flexible and can learn to deal with it. :)

I bluyl material from all over. When I first started quilting, the only place I had to buy was wall-mart. That was 13 years ago, and the quilts have been used, and are still holding up. Yes, I have had to make some repairs, but just because of all the washing and using. I am careful, at wall-mart, but you can get good material, you just have to check it out. You don't have as big a choice there though. I have ordered on line, and liked what i got, and I have bought lots from LQS and liked it also, so there is no right or wrong answer.
