I love the feel (hand) of Northcott--so silky. :thumbup: Their colors tend to be more clear and white than other manufacturers. Hoffman's also have a silky feel, but often times do not care for their designs (a personal choice). Moda is also good--very dense weave. But when making miniatures (I don't paper piece), the good quality slightly lighter weight fabrics work better--less bulk in seam allowances.

Moda by far is my favorite and Sandy Garvis my favorite designer but I do
like Timeless Treasure too have you checked them out for their free patterns I got the Taxi line from Timeless Treaasures and the pattern now to get it together but of course there is lots of other great fabrics

I've seen a lot of the selvedges on my stash recently (while refolding/organizing) and the majority of them are Moda or RJR. That said, I also have a sizeable Hoffman batik collection, as well as quite a few Benartex and Northcott. Pretty much anything goes, I guess!
