being a snob is not a bad thing. LOL Thanks for the answer!

I think it's ok to be snobby about 100% cotton fabrics. It's what they used before there was polyester!

Well you are right about the fabric, sorry to say our Wally mart does not carry fabric, so I can't even comment on what their fabric is like.
|
Just a comment: Quilters use what is available. The quilters of Gees Bend used old cloths because that was, in most cases, all they had. Use what you've got. I see that as the tradition.

PS
You gave her good advice. Don't feel bad. |
I think a little "snobbery" is a helpful thing for a newbie. I made my first quilt with old (gasp) polyester. Yikes! What an awful looking mess that was.

When you think to give the very best, you did.
You gave her the BEST ADVICE....No you are NOT a snob. I can't believe that this is the first time that someone has ask you something?????? My DH thinks there is an invisable sign on me that people see.....People are always asking me questions.. I just laugh about it now....... OH!! by the way you are the last person on here that would be a snob........Maybe you will luck out now that JoAnn's was purchased,they might come up with a store near you....... |
