I have purchased many Keepsake Calicos from JoAnn's, and find the quality to be excellent. The comments having to do with bleeding -- any fabric (even Keepsake Calico) can bleed. I prewash everything that comes in my house -- if I'm going to sew with it, I won't risk it causing an asthma attack. Any fabric that comes from a different dye lot (just like knitting yarn) may be different from the same print fabric coming from a different dye lot. That's just a fact of life -- it doesn't mean the fabric is of poor quality -- it was dyed in another dye batch, and seldom do dye lots match perfectly! I seldom purchase fabric online!

I've purchased brand-name fabrics that bled more than a fabric I bought at Wal-Mart -- it's just something that happens!
