I have bought lots and lots of fabric at Walmart, HobbyLobby and Hancocks (when we had one). The only problem I have with Walmart is I think Ours still has the same exact fabric they had 3 yrears ago!! (GIMME SOMHTIN NEW)
Now I will admit to my fondness for Quilt Shop fabric.. Love it Love it!! BUT I have been getting most of mine online, and there are some really great price in the close out sections for under $3, $4, & $5.
When I do go to the actual Quilt Shop and I know this sounds silly cause it does not save me a dime but, Probably costs me more in the long run actualy, but I buy a couple of yrds one time a couple more the next ect...
The only logical explanation I can think of for doing it that way is .... Oh heck there isnt one!! :lol:
