i agree with several others, our walmart did phase out fabric in Michigan, also, only one here in Florida in my area has fabric. I find that knowing good fabric by feel is important,not only in quilting fabrics, but also when looking for ready made clothes. Price is not the only thing to consider, many less expensive pieces of clothing also are good quality.....as well as those costing an arm and a let can be of poor workmanship and quality.
Thanks for mentioning Fields Fabics, it is near me, and I love that store.... :)
