Kona Cotton

I just got my latest Joann's flyer and there is a coupon for 10% off the
total purchase. There is no 40% off coupon anywhere!

So, I will probably be doing even more on line purchasing and was wondering
how the Kona cotton carried by some of the on line fabric stores compares to
the quilters' only sold at Joann's. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,

I have the color swatch card from HOP and order from them once in awhile.
It is a brand item so should be the same I would think.

I love Kona. I usually buy it at Hancock's.

My LQS owner says that Hancock's doesn't sell all colors (very true)
and often they get seconds. I still buy it at Hancock's, especially if
it is for a backing or something that I don't intend to become an
heirloom. If I need a special color, or if it is something I want to
last, I'll spend the extra $$.

I have their catalog so the color should be fairly accurate, at least for
my needs. I mainly needed to know if the quality is good enough, I usually
sort of go by feel.

Thanks,

Judie

I really dislike Kona cotton -- heresy, I know, but there you are. :S
Black Kona cotton was the background fabric chosen by my LQS for a BOM
(the only one I've ever done), and it's thicker than regular quilting
cotton, and it seems to attract every tiny bit of lint from miles
around. Grrr. Never again!

I'm one of those who LOVE Kona cotton- especially the black. (Sorry,
Sandy) That said, they are much more "stout" than the normal "quilting
cottons". They are smooth, but do not have that yummy silky feel of
many of the newer quilting cottons that are now available.

I guess it all depends on what you want and need..... how's that for a
non-answer? ;-)))))

My Joann email says you can use Code OCTER5502 on the shopping basket
part of the online order on or before Wed., October 26 for a 50%
discount.

Hurry!

All my Kona went to Jill for the furry faces a long time ago. I didn't like
the way it behaved. Polly

You know, I've signed up for the on line mailing list time after time
and still don't get email from them. I used to get email from them years
ago but then it started coming to Jennifer instead of Judie...my
daughter's name. When I tried to tell them they had updated my name in
error they took me off their email list and I've never been able to have
them add me again. I've sent them numerous emails asking WHY??? but have
never gotten an answer, my daughter has also emailed them and never
received any answer. She doesn't get email from them either and it seems
they refuse to add her to their list. Very weird, these folks at Joann's.
