i totally agree with you luv, we have a few walmarts here and some of them have very very nice fabric. i really like it a lot. in fact, i go there first before i'd go anywhere else to look for something. i wash all of my fabric also as soon as it comes in the house and i haven't gotten anything there i didn't like - except mistakenly bought a couple of those 5 yards for $5 bolts and of course it was so thin i don't think i'll use it for anything but other than that i love our local walmarts fabric selection.
