Yeah, I did notice that the thin fabric, to me, looked like bed sheet fabric. I didn't consider that at all. Is this what they call calico? Is this printed fabric? I would think it is. If it's dyed fabric, wouldn't the right side and the wrong side be almost the same color???

Agree!

If you buy at Wal Mart, like others have said, check the weight of the fabric. I have found that the really thin stuff doesn't work well at all especially if you have to rip out -- it just frays away.
