:D Wow! I'm going to Walmart! The one in St Augustine, Fl is very good. I got a lot of fabric when we were down there in Nov. They said they were keeping their stock but I'm not sure of the one near my home in MI?? You DO have to be careful of the fabric, though. i got some that ended up being very hard to work with & I could really see the difference from the quilt shop fabrics! I'm starting to 'haunt' the sales racks in the quilt shops & get better stuff! If you're going to put all that work into something, you should use the best materials you can afford. You CAN get some good stuff there but be careful! Just a tip: I have been getting 100% cotton thread from"Connecting Threads" It is Egyptian cotton & NOT 'fuzzy'. It's on sale now for$1.59 for 1200 yds, size 50. Satin finish. Very good buy, lots of colors! Happy sewing!! I just had surgery on my shoulder so won't be sewing sant time soon but can't wait to get back! Will make me work harder in therapy! haha!
