It was 6 yards, I think, of new fabric so I used 2 of them.

Oh, I never thought to read the box!!!!! LOL Silly me. :-D

Wal Mart would have them cheaper than any other store. I buy mine there, cheaper fabrics don't normally bleed so much.

Me, too. They sound like a must have for quilters.

I use them all the time as well...get them at Meijer's, WalMart, Target...most any place in the laundry aisle. I use them in new clothes that could bleed and have saved myself on that too.

Love 'em! Use them all the time now. A couple of them in a wash saves so much heartache!

Not all Walmart's have them. My local one did at one time, but no space allocated to them in the last few months. I stock up at Target. It's more expensive, but cheaper than the grocery store.

I get mine at a local Hanaford's grocery store.
Cheaper than Wal-mart.
I couldn't live without them.
I use the same one twice.

I've even washed white fabric with darks. & no change in the fabric.
Had to check out if they really worked. :-D

I'm going to be using them more now that I've tried them. Just hate it when you have clothing that is black and white and after a couple of washings the white looks gray.
