Sadly the debate over where to buy fabric will never end. Some can afford to pay top dollar, and do! They have many a personal reason for it and I say go for it!! Where most of us must choose to pay our bills and feed our families and first before spending anything out for fabric. I say I feel no shame and am no less a person for being frugalNo one here would purposely buy material that would fall apart at the first wash to begin with. There is no shame in buying from wal-mart , biglots or wherever. We know our own limits and choose to live within them If we didn't someone would have something to say about that.
