Well, to stick up for Walmart fabric and those that shop there,,,some of it IS good stuff. And those that buy there do so because that's what they can afford. Doesn't mean their quilts are any less because they don't buy at the LQS. We buy what we can afford at the time.
I shop Ben Franklin. WHY? Because that's ALL there is here. Would be nice if there was something else, but there isn't. Most of the fabric I find there is a bit out of date, but they do have some new lines come in once in a while and when it does, it sells out FAST.
If I want something REALLY nice or am looking for the latest and greatest...internet shopping is what I have to do.
So, we buy what we can, where we can.
