I too have purchased from CT several times. I compare them superior to Joann's but not your LQS. Of course the fabric you buy at your LQS will be better, and you WILL pay the price.
CT is great for fabric, but you have to remember small articles ie. fat quarters, jelly rolls WILL rall in your washing machine. They are best washed by hand, and then air dried. Larger pieces can be sniped (corners) and machine washed. Hope this helps.
