You really need to feel the fabric and decide yourself if you like it. There is not hard fast rtule that says LQS fabric is best. I just bought a really nice apple fabric with corrdinating color at a LQS but quess what it feels really flimsy and not nas tight woven as some others. I bought it because I liked the pattern/color. I did not "pet" the fabric so lesson learned- I will pet the fabric better next time.
