    I do not look at the brands when I buy.I go by the design and quality of the fabric.However, when I get home I then notice that I buy Marcus Bros, Hoffman and Michael
    Miller the most, even though I shop in lots of places.

    I choose the pattern first, and then colors, the fabric is last and I don't buy from just one line. I will walk through all the fabrics to find just the right color or print. Then I look at quality and price. Sometimes that perfect fabric is outside of my budget and sometimes it is too perfect to not pick up!

    Design and quality; but I prefer Kaufman Kona for plain colors.

    Based on quality of the line...I have a few favs, but then from there I choose by color, then design.

    My favorite by far has always been any of the Fusions line by Robert Kaufman. I use more of that than any other fabric line. If I win the lottery, I'm going to buy every color that is manufactured.

    I pick by color and quality but love a lot of Moda fabrics.

    Moda is my favorite fabric but not always my favorite design. I like the quality of Moda but it does seem to fray more than some. I pick what I like for the pattern I am making. Thimbleberries is a very nice fabric and I really like Berntex. I guess I just like fabric.
