i have to confess as well. i was in lake havasu for the winter this past year april 2012 and the walmart there was redoing there fabric dept. as well. i went in and they had 100's of bolts for anywhere from 1 to $4 a yard. since i was heading back to canada where you can't get fabric for less than 10$ a yard on sale if your lucky, i purchased 100 yards of some of the greatest quality, nicest pattern and great fabric. the only think is i just learned how to sew in jan. and im 53. i will be lucky if i get around to using it all with all the other stuff i bought and continue to buy to go with it. lol now if i could just find someone here to help me learn and get started again. i am basically on my own with no one to guide me. its the cutting that has me intimidated
