When Wal Mart had fabric in Sherman, Texas, I loved the AE Nathan and the Cranston VIP and sometimes found other fabric with a good "hand." Not everything you buy at a quilt shop is good quality. You have to be careful and learn to judge fabric by its "hand" instead of its origin or price. I don't think Wal Mart ever carried, but another good fabric is made by Blank manufacturing. It is generally much less expensive and is usually very nice. You can look on the Internet to find retail stores that carry it. froggyintexas
