I did you test this morning. The David Textile fabric was as light blocking as the Blank, Marcus Bros, SSI, Kaffe Fasset, and Northcott and most all the other LQS fabric I had. I could see through Moda quite a bit and a lot of the Bernatex, Thimbleberries, Aunt Grace, and civil war repos were more see through the then AE Nathan fabric I have. The fabric that is coming to the Walmarts that have the fabric dept is very good quality, not like the fabrics that every Walmart had before. There are lousy fabrics at discount stores and there are good quality. It pays to check the discount stores first and save money. :-D
