ckgirl57The hand on Kona and Couture are quite different, which probably accounts for the price difference. Both are great fabrics -- Couture is more luxurious and smooth; Kona is all-purpose with some texture qualities . The choice depends on the effect you want or how you're going to use it.
ckgirl57I've used kona before for quilting but it was white, last time I bought a green and washed it and it bled like crazy. Never again plus I'm not crazy about the texture as well.
