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.

sorry to hear about your bad luck, our Walmart closed up fabric department when they remodeled the store

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.
