I have read with great interest about Walmart and fabric quality. We still have our walmart fabric for now. How long??????? I have had the same discussion about quality with many of my quilting and sewing friends. I think quality is a judgemental thing. It depends on your goal. I have sewn clothing for years both for customers and myself. I have some clothes that lasted for years. How boring. When I got into quilting, I started with cost as my main objective. I use whatever fabric catches my eye. I don't quilt heirlooms. I quilt for fun and relaxation. If my quilts last ten years, fine. If not, what's the harm. I made one heirloom baby quilt. Veeeery expensive. It's lovely but I'm not going to let a baby drool, spit up or otherwise on it. It's tucked safely in the cedar chest. My cheaper quilts are all in view on my beds, my children's beds and soon, my grandchildren's. I do buy fabric on the internet and wait for the sales. I've never been disappointed. Our ASG group often has fabric exchanges. You'd be surprised what we use. One man's junk is another man's treasure. O.K. I'm off my soapbox!
