If in fact Walmart does get a lesser quality from the same maker do you really think that it's going to be admitted to? Can you imagine the backlash that everyone involved with that would get? Of course the company is going to say it is nonsense...what else are they going to say; "yes, we send the crappy stuff to Walmart"?
This is a good point also. I just figured I'd ask them and see what they said.
I've only heard "rumors" to the contary, no "experts" or anything. So, I guess if I'm going to believe someone the fabric company is more "in the know" that anyone else I've asked at this point.
I'd love to be able to ask some other "professional" type people, though. Any suggestions?
