I also found that WM fabric did not hold up over time. Fabric I got there awhile ago seems to be a much better quality. I tried some for Christmas items and the thread count was terrible even though it was labeled cotton. When I put time and love into something I want it to last!
I agree! It just doesn't feel good, does it? It feels stiff and cheap to me. Love the softness of good quality fabric. Everyone is running theirs on sale right now because they don't want to pay end of year taxes on it. Found some really good fabric for $2-$4 per yard. I can't find fabric that cheap at a discount store that's the same quality.
