Hancocks has some really great cottons, but they also carry some not so nice - maybe you got some of the lower quality cotton which often has sizing added to give it substance. Once you wash it, that sizing comes off and then the fabric may end up to "wimpy". There are also different weights of cotton - I've got some meant for drapery which is sturdier than quilters cotton, but still soft to the touch. So careful checking in the store to be sure you have what you want will help prevent this stiffness from happening again.
