Maybe if it's a very special quilt I will but not for every quilt I make. The $5 fabric is especially good for table toppers, runners and holiday projects. So glad they finally came to their senses. We told them so.
I can go to a neighboring town at a quilt/sewing shop there and get good quality fabric of there $1.98 table every week and it is a whole lot better quality than even Walmarts so called expensive fabric. I was in Walmart yesterday to get thread and looked at there so called $5.95 a yard to $7.95 a yard and it is so thin you can actually see through it. I would not call there most expensive fabric of good quality. I can go in that same shop I just mentioned and get a better quality fabric and pay $5.95 to $7.95 a yard.
I won't even buy fat quarters anymore at Walmart at $1 each because it is so thin you can see through it. Also alot of Walmarts fabric states that fabric "alot of it" "is made of unknown fibers" but yet states 100% cotton. Now how can that be. LOL
