I feel really bad for all of you. My local Wal-Mart always kept the fabric department, although it had gotten really small for a while there. Now we have tons of fabric and a lot of it is really nice. I bought some double-wide muslin there yesterday, washed it today, and it appears to be of reasonably good quality. They even had TWO people working in the fabric and craft department yesterday....must have been a full moon or something, because that never happens!
