I wonder if any of the fabric shops here are the same. Does anyone know?

I bought fabric for my first quilt from Fabricland. It was their house brand, and poor quality, but I didn't care much, since i didn't expect much from that quilt. The fabric was unevenly dyed and mis-dyed in spots. I didn't see it until it was washed and on my cutting table. I cut around it, because I knew I'd bought more than I needed, and was relatively sure they wouldn't take it back.

Then I bought some from Marshall's (not the Marshall's you have in the States). It was 108" wide, but that doesn't matter much when you find holes in the center (probably corresponding with the fold line) after washing.

I'm going to make a mental note to ask the next time I'm in each of the stores. I don't buy much fabric at FL anymore if I can help it, but I still buy rulers and notions.
