I too use Wal-Mart fabrics. I also buy at LQS all over, but there I only buy from the discontinued rack which is sometimes cheaper than Wal-Mart..... I don't need the newest fabrics out there and my pocketbook doesn't like it either. In 2009 I had to have one line that was new and loved and just recently I have found another line that I just might 'have' to have... But both of them are slated for a specific project. One top is done the other in the 'works'. That is why I have a stash, so that I can have a variety without walking out and spending lots of bucks at once.

All the comments here are very interesting here because I'm sitting here holding pieces of Robert Kaufman and Timeless Treasure material and it feels exactly like the other piece I'm holding which is the one I purchased from Wal-Mart two days ago. Hmmm, Wonder how that happens?
No doubt,there are some fabrics that are very thin and poor in quality at Wal-Mart no doubt, but perhaps there are some of better quality that are being added... that is unless my fingers have lost their touch discrimination.

But here our old store had fabric and when they built the new Wal-Mart the fabric department was transferred and the size and amount was increased. We have about 4 aisles full of fabric.

One Walmart nearby has David Textile fabrics which is quilt shop quality for $4.79 a yard. The other Walmarts near by does not have David Textile fabrics. The one that has the DT fabrics, the fabric dept manager orders it directly from the rep. She said all the fabric managers had to do was have the rep come to their store. Walmart has contracts with the company.
