I bought a bolt of fabric from the wholesale warehouse for $1 a yard. That same fabric was on an internationally known website for $10.50 a yard. If Walmart had bought that same fabric for $1 a yard, it would have been offered for $4.50 a yard. They would be making a profit, and it would have been the exact same fabric. Walmart does buy fabric like that. It is quilt shop quality, only they don't expect to make the same profit and price accordingly.
