I have used and am using both Kona and Bella. I do believe both are "lighter" than what we use to see in the older Kona.....I'm sure it's a cost factor. That said, I find more color selection in the Bella line. ALL of the stuff frays anymore......Moda has gotten really bad.....thinner fabric and looser weave....again, the cost factor( IMHO )...:)

Never used Moda Bella but the Kona solids I use for napkings to place mat sets.

I really love Moda Bella. Kona cotton seems to be a coarser weave.

Well, Moda is my favorite fabric manufacturer. But, I prefer the Kona for a solid. I think Kona is a little heavier than the Moda Bella.

I really like Kona Cotton. I have never heard of Moda Bella or used it. I will have to look for some and try it sometime.

I have not heard of Moda Bella---will have to keep my eye out for these solids. Of the ones I do know about, I like Kona the best.
