But to me, my time and effort is worth something. If I can't afford fabric this week or month, then I'll just wait a little longer until I can. I'd rather have the quality.
My thoughts exactly. The time and care I put into my quilts is worth the best fabric.
And I have never ever touched a piece of "crap" fabric at my LQS!
Not being a Walmart shopper, I did go to the new one near me jsut to see what this fabric was all about. The colors and prints looked great but feeling the fabric told a different story. Definitely not first run. Bet they fade fast.
You did ask for opinons and now youhave mine!
