I have gotten some nice fabric at wall mart but you have to be VERY carfull! and know what you want in the thread count and color. a lot of there fabric color runs and runs and runs. I never buy deep colors like dark blue, black , red, ect they seem to always run even after washing with soap, viniger and all the rest. I spend as much in water and additives as I would at a LQS. I have noticed some of my newer Joann's fabrics are almost as bad. I'm hopeing there quality is not affected by there store sale.
