Even though I'm on a fabric fast, when I saw this post, I took a trip to Walmart. There was a clearance section, but sadly it was EMPTY!

I went to a local WM when I was in Denver close to where we were going to meet our daughter; and found OOODLES of fabric on sale for 1.00 a yard and snagged that up for quilts or garment sewing. I was talking to the Dept Head of Fabric and she was telling me they are going thru a remodel and all the WM's that have material will be doing the same .. SO ladies watch your WM's in your areas!!

I agree, Walmart has some good/some not so good fabric....just have to be picky! Happy Birthday!

The only problem I had relating to Walmart was the batting. I made a pieced tote bag in a complicated design that I love but noticed that little bits of batting poke through and ruined it. It was the first I had heard of 'bearding'. I had already put together a baby quilt and was worried that it was the the same batting so, as a precaution, I made up a quilted square and washed it. It bearded all over - clearly the Walmart product - so I undid all the tacking on the quilt and threw the horrid batting away. It made me very wary of Walmart sewing products.

I've been a fan of Walmart fabrics for the past 30 years. Some I've gotten was great, some not so much, but even the not so great can work for certain things. I got several pieces in the $1/yd sale a few years back that I'm guessing are 100% polyester. They work wonderfully well for purse/tote linings.

Me too -- as a matter of fact the turquoise and white in the bottom row I made curtains out of for my bedroom and once I move to my own place they will be recycled into a quilt

A couple of weeks ago I got some gorgeous fabrics at my local Wal-Mart in the $2.00 per yard sale! I should post a photo. It's all really nice, medium weight cotton and the colors are lovely. Not sure what I'm going to do with it quite yet. I noticed that the table has dwindled down now (I'm in the WM every day, it seems, for something or other). Most of what's left is either fleece or really ugly!

happy birthday and i know you will certainly enjoy your fabric.. and I also am a walmart fabric shopper ... it is the closest store to us that sells fabric..and i love the cost.. post pictures when you finish your projects and most of all enjoy the fabric

Glad you have Wal-Mart fabric. Ours doesn't. Lovely fabrics.

great gift!!
