    All the fabrics I have bought from Wal Mart have been great and great prices, most don't ravel like the "better" fabrics do.

    The programs that I use for my images are not very compadable with Windows 7 and to cut a long story short my computer crashed on me yesterday. My husband and I spent all night till 3 am getting it up and going. I will be posting the fabrics that bled later on today.

    Just do what you can when you can. We understand and we all have a bookmark we can use to come back later and see the photos. No stress.

    that's very odd. i have used about a bazillion yards of the blue swirly in the past and never had a problem.

    i'm not questioning your post. just remarking on the strange turn of events.

    i washed several Northcotts this afternoon. they came out beautifully.

    i guess the fabric gremlins have been busy in many factories lately.

    criminitly! if i wanted to gamble like this, i'd fly to vegas! :shock:

    The pink was the worst of the three and my sink was pink! The blue wasn't as bad but the dragon fabric turned the water black. I haven't had any problems with WM fabric before this. I will still buy Walmart fabric but will wash it seprate.
