After reading all of your posts everyone has different opinions of Walmart fabric. I have at the most 4 walmarts close by and each one carry low quality and high quality. Yes the high quality is at $8 a yd and beautiful so I did buy some to make pillowcases and guess what? T hey came out so well and the softness and quality of the cotton was as if I bought if from an lqs. The problem for me is that both of my lqs's are far out so its either Joanns or Walmart. I look for the quality of the cotton on these fabrics and some of the Walmart fabrics are cheap and easily frayed. Some of the walmarts here in my area carry good and not so good fabrics anywhere from $4-8 a yd. It all depends on what you are using the fabric for. I for one would rather buy at an lqs to support them but with gas prices going up and driving 45 mins to one its not feasible for me. Just my two cents...
