I agree .. Wal-Mart's fabric isn't the greatest but it suffices. And with the price of all the cotton materials going up at the LQS, well a girl has to shop where the pennies can be pinched !LOL Just watch the fabric and decide for yourself. Get a yard of each from Jo-Ann's, LQS and Wally.Wash it then sew with it and decide for yourself. I have differing opinions as sometimes Wally can get in some good fabric and just the opposite at Jo-Ann's or LQS.
