Price is usually a good indicator. Priced at $2.99 you can be sure it will be a thin fabric that will not keep its shape, have a lot of shrinkage, ravels and will not wear well in a quilt. Medium priced fabric, $7.00/$8.00 will be a better product with none of the above mentioned problems. Will work well in a quilt. Higher priced fabric $10.00 a yard. Will be a good tight weave, fabric will be a nice thickness. Pieces will hold their shape well and will not distort when pressed. And will last a long time in a quilt. A lot of work goes into making a quilt. So you want it to last. A quilt made with $2.99 fabric will not last. Seams will ravel open and the thin fabrics will wear quickly. Buy good quality fabric and you will make a better quality quilt. Overall it will look better, wash up better, and wear better.
