I have a thread counter and I take it with me when I shop for fabric. I have found the same amount of threads per inch in quilt shops as well as in Walmart. I focus on the color, print, and finish when the thread count is the same. 65 threads per inch is quilt shop quality no matter where you buy it. Any fabric under 60 per inch is too thin for quilting unless you want to make a rag quilt.
