Thanks!

I have bought tons of fabric from that site. i have always been totally pleased.

The General Fabrics is often found in WalMart fabric departments. i've used a lot of it over the years. i would rate it approximately 6.5 out of 10 on the "snooty scale" (10 being the highest.). not as nice as something like Moda, but much nicer than Wally's $2.50 fabs. it's medium weight. huge selection of prints and colors within each collection. it's easy to work with, holds up well in the wash, and doesn't fade or bleed. (i have found the odd little skip in a small spot in the print on a few pieces i've bought. very rarely, and i've always been able to work around it.) it's a great value for the price.
