1) I haven't purchased any fabrics at either WalMart of JoAnn's for about six months - so perhaps the quality has changed drastically in that time.

Prior to that, I have seen some cottons with "Exclusive Design for Jo-Ann stores" that seemed nice.

I have never seen any cottons with "Exclusive Design for WalMart Stores" (or something similar to that.)

I've purchased some VERY nice fabrics from WalMart stores in the past.


2) Another thing - it would be a lot more accurate to say "SOME fabrics purchased FROM ________ are not satisfactory to me"
rather making a sweeping statement that "ALL fabrics from ________ are unsatisfactory."

Saying "WalMart fabric" is about as accurate as saying "WalMart toasters"

I will concede that SOME of the very "cheap" fabrics that WalMart used to carry were quite awful.

One needs to be careful with words such as: all, none, always, never, every.
