ok not a Walmart hater just wont buy fabric there
and there is a quality difference between low cost fabrics in say Walmart and Jo Anns. Most major manufacturers have different qualities of the SAME print. The thread count is a big one. The lower priced fabrics tend to also have a lower thread count according to one quilt store I love in CA. The time we put into a quilt or should I say the time I put into a quilt matters to me as does the fabric. I need it to last as I am one heck of a slow quilter!
Also my take on connecting threads: love their batiks. Nice soft fabrics. Love their prints some are soft some are not as soft depends I guess on the day they were made
the solids I do not care for nor do I like the FEEL of the blenders/mirage. Too stiff and I find they fade easily. Just my opinion. I would go back for blenders. Oh their slow shipping is seriously slow. Took over 2 weeks to receive which is seriously not reasonable.
