The only one I bought at WalMart that was HORRIBLE was a Halloween fabric available one or two seasons ago.
It was bright tangerine background with rows of black silhouettes - buildings, I think. It was a cute print, too.
That doggone stuff was a bleeder. Changed water about 20 times on it and the water still was like I was making orange Kool-aid.
I advised the nearest WalMart about it - the clerk took it off the shelf. I came back a few days ago - it was BACK on the shelf. Could hardly believe it.
I did take it back to the WalMart I purchased it at - much to my surprise, they did take it back. I considered it defective when the 8 other Halloween fabrics I purchased then had good manners. (I did have my receipt) It did get a little sticky, because by then the Halloween fabrics were on clearance, and the codes had changed.
I, too, would like to see pictures of the fabrics you had problems with.
In general, I've had good success with the ones I've purchased and been pleased with them.
