I think I would feel this way too after reading the tread but unless the swap states it needs to be a certain manufacture I would not worry about it being from Walmart or Joann's. I think what people are most concerned about is that it is 100% cotton and not thin cheese cloth and will fall apart. So just besure to finger what you are buying, no matter where you are buying it. Ofcourse if it says LQS in the swap rules you might want to contact the host and see what he/she thinks.
