Waverly Fabrics in solids at Wal-Mart
 
Wal-Mart now has Waverly fabrics in solids for 2.97 a yard. I was cutting Kona solids and Waverly solids and I could not tell the difference , I know there has been a discussion about the thinness of some Kona solids.I think the Waverly is a very nice fabric.

I just bought some of this from Walmart and I could not believe is was 100 percent cotton. I washed and ironed and it is fine.

Thanks for letting us know.....I need some solids now, so I'll have to check Wal-Mart out first!

A few weeks ago I saw this at our Walmart and bought allot of colors to replenish my stock. I washed them and came out beautiful. This a great by. They did have prints for $3.99.

In between snowstorms I'll be going to Wally World and hoping they have this, thanks.

I was at our local store and they had 4 beautiful prints that were Waverly and the fabric felt wonderful. Two of them were polka dots and the other two were companion prints to each other that were pretty wild. I bought all of the polka dot fabric in pink and aqua for baby quilts. I don't think these are regular fabrics they carry but something that comes in once in a while. I did not see any Waverly solids at all.

Been longtime since I've seen Waverly but then I haven't had the need. Good to know. Wally is in my back yard.

I always thought of Waverly as decorating fabrics not quilting fabrics. I will need to check also.

Going today to check local Walmart. I don't understand the fabric buyers for Walmart, if they were educated about fabrics, they would see the fabric dept could be the most profitable dept in the store.

I went to walmart here today, ours just recently got fabric dept. back, and they had some waverly. Didn't see any solids, but did find some black with tiny white dots, and a couple other prints of it for 3.97 a yard. I would definitely buy it, I'm no expert about fabrics, but thought it had a nice hand.

this is good to know... thanks for letting us know

The reason there are some thin RK Kona solids out there at fabric chains is because they are 2nd quality and don't meet up to RK standards. So they are sold to jobbers who then resale to chain stores. I use to work in the Home Dec department of House of Fabric and Waverly just made fabrics for draperies and stuff. I will have to check this fabric out at Walmart. THANKS for the post.

I will have to check that out...Thanks for the info...

I recently purchased a piece of the waverly fabrics and it was as nice as the solid I purchased at the quilt store the day before. Very nice quality.

OldHairTwister 01-31-2015 10:02 PM

I just found the Waverly at my WM today too. Glad to know that it stands up well in the wash. Will be going back tomorrow to get some if the projected snow storm doesn't hit tonight.

Went to Wal Mart today (took daughter to get her food) so I had time (no DH) to look around and found a lot of Waverly fabrics in solids and prints and much of it coordinating and seems really nice, feels good. Will wash tonight and will most likely buy more next time I go.
