Kona Cotton Solids in every color available at Hancock's of Paducah for only 3.60 a yard
I recently got some fabric from Hancock's of Paducah and noticed that all their prices are per half yard. Still good prices but be sure to read carefully.

I second this one, every time I have bought Kona cottons from Hancock Fabrics it has been the highest quality.

I love it!!

I also have had very good luck with all the fabric I buy at Hancock Fabrics....not so true with Joanne's, where you really have to be careful what you select. I have noticed that our Joanne's fabric quality improved after they were remodeled, and the prices didn't seem to go up much. Maybe a few cents, but that's all.

I also get Kona from Hancocks with no problems. Moda solids are my favorite though. I avoid buying fabrics from JoAnn's, mostly because of poor quality and principle. It seems that when I have a coupon, it is for regular priced items and most everything is on some kind of a sale.

I just purchased two bolts of the Bella solids from the fatquartershop.com. If you purchase 15 yards it is only $4.60 a yard, otherwise it is still only $5.75 a yard. It looks like they carry about 125 different colors. In addition, they will send you samples to be sure it is the color you want before you order a large quantity. Take them up on this offer, they charge 25% restocking fee on all returns. Hence my second bolt purchase, :roll: but it is fine, I will use both bolts.

Kona cotton should never feel stiff. In fact it actually feels a little like silk. It is one of the best cottons out there. When i need solid black it is the only one I buy. Our JoAnns does not carry Kona.
