I have used Kona cottons for years and many of those years it came from Joann fabrics, it very clearly said Kona on the bolt and the quality was Kona. I have purchased fabric from an online store that definitely was not Kona it was not the quality I am accustomed to buying. Sadly I don't remember the name of the online store because once I got the fabric and wasn't happy with it I just deleted them from stores I will buy from.

Kona vs Kona
Quite some time ago I read an article about this same subject. If you look at the side of cardboard that has the info on it, you will notice one will say "Kona" while another can say "Kona - Robert Kauffman". Thereafter when I was looking for solids I paid special attention to that factor. The only ones I have ever seen at Jo-Ann's was Kona. While I also shop at Hobby Lobby, their solids was kona-Robert Kauffman. The last few times I have looked at Hobby Lobby I found both types mixed in their solid section. Haven't checked in quite awhile, but I hope this might help someone.

Now I don't have any choice for fabric except to use JA fabric and I HATE IT! I am not able to drive to a fabric shop now, so I must use what I can get. I am working on a quilt for my first ggrnd and I do not like the feel of the fabric at all.

I am confused. I buy 100% cotton and use 100% cotton batting so it will wrinkle. I am wondering how the remaining fabric doesn't wrinkle. The only quilt I've made that doesn't wrinkle is when I used solid symphony broadcloth on a child's quilt when i didn't want it to wrinkle. Worked great.

I don't have any choice where I live; it is either JA or nothing. I am no longer drive long distances like to Mary Jo's in
Gastonia, NC. I bought some backing fabric for a quilt and it was so thin, I could read through it. I will use it, but I will get someone to take me to a distant store next time.

I, personally find that Moda fabrics ravel terribly. That does not mean they aren't Moda.
