The Walmart that is 5 miles from me brought back yarn and fabric department that is 1/4 it's former size. The fabric on the bolts is very poor fabric....wouldn't even consider it for backing. It is the quality of color stamped on poor grade muslin. I think after the sizing is washed out it would be like gauze. I just can't waste my time on such junk and my heart goes out to anyone who doesn't have access to anything else.
