Someone wrote about thin/Wal-mart quality fabric, I haven't found that to be the case at Marshall's. One day we were able to go to the warehouse and buy fabric by the pound. I spend $18.06 and got 89 yards. They have $1 tables with flawed fabric, and it is either very visible to the eye or not but who can't get a $1's worth of use out of the fabric. I got a great piece of turquoise blender that had a small white stripe on the edge by the selvage. Very minimal. Their blenders are comparable to Moda, $3.99 a yard. I have used lots of their batiks with no problems. We go down on Friday after Thanksgiving for our Black Friday and shop. The had all kinds of Christmas fabric for $1.99 a yard. I found some Peanuts gang fabric with Linus and it was marked at $2.99, it is a licensed print, and ended up getting it or a $1 a yard because there was faded ink close to the selvage. I bought all of it. I like the fact they carry 60" width for backing the quilts. I don't like pieceing the backs, and it saves time and money.
Thanks Diane... About how long does it take to get to Marshall Dry Goods store from Springfield?
Thanks everyone for the information.
