ETA: I see some of them are made in China, some in South Korea, and some don't say at all. Does anyone know what difference these locations might mean to the quality?
This will be a LONG discussion thread.....I have heard most experts say to buy the very best quality fabrics you can afford. Unfortunately, my experience has been that Joann's does not carry quality quilting cottons at a reasonable price. I can get far better quality at my LQS than the inflated price that Joann's charges on their "best" fabrics....I have had great luch with Some of the web shops, but I just do not buy quilt fabric at Joann's any longer.
