    are you agreeing about the poor quality? or asking? (good luck)

    I thought the same thing here localy but not true... they was not ordering more and was selling out all they had for there is going to be a new setting for them. They have gotten some of the new stuff in this past week and some are very nice... I am waiting for a .99 cent sale. Oh and they used to be $1.49 and they will be either $1.49 or $1.99 so you will have to look to see what the price is on some of them.

    If you look at the end of the bolt...The Debbie Mumm is now made in China. It used to be a better fabric. I'm not sure where the kona is made. Will be buying some black this week.

    2 weeks ago I had picked up a bunch of FQ's marked 50 cents but they were ringing up at full price, new gal at register couldn't get the sale price to come up, no one came to help her so I told her forget about it as I had to leave. Went back last week, hardly any 50 cent FQ's left but I got what I wanted.

    Re: the Joann's Kona lighter weight than LQS's. Do you think all Kona fabrics are now lighter and LQS has some older bolts? I hate to think that is the case as there are time when I really need the Kona weight in a project. May in Jersey

    Our local Joanns had not one FQ in the store the last time I was there ! I would say they are done with them.

    I'm agreeing about the cheap quality. In fact, the next brand over felt better that the Kona, and that fabric was $1 less! the brand next to it was Quilters Only.

    And thank you everyone with the well wishes.
