I don't buy much fabric at Walmart and yesterday confirmed why. I needed a piece of off white cotton to embroider a quote on, and both pieces of fabric I had purchased at Walmart months ago were defective. Course it is my fault I didn't check out each piece when I got home; I just cut off the tag they attach to each piece, folded it my way, and stashed it in the cupboard. Most of the pattern on each piece along the salvage was gone or mottled, and the tan background in some spots was darker than the rest of the fabric. I don't know how I missed seeing this when she cut it or I folded it. So bummed I placed them in the pile of scraps (these are 2 yd pieces) for doll quilt backings or stuffing new dog beds. Went to LQS and purchased good Kona fabric for my project. Our Walmart prices have gone up, but they do have a better selection now too. Still prefer my LQS.
