Love me some Wally-world fabrics! Have bought tons. Many quilts have been birthed from Walmart beginnings. Our Wally's is getting bigger, but getting rid of fabric. I am sad. So very sad. Love me some Joann's even better...but thier prices have gone up, so that too makes me sad. so sad. But, I have a family that loves me enough to give me quilt days, a sewing machine that sews in a relatively straight line, and a pretty good stash of pretty fabric...three happy's outweigh the sads...all good!

The whole point of the question was to see if people would ADMIT to liking some WalMart fabrics. Not whether they were superior, inferior, or equal to fabrics from other sources.
I admit it. I actually buy the National Enquirer every week. And I like it.

Untill recently, almost all my fabric came from Walmart...I never had any problems. It's like any where, if you know what to look for you usually get what you want. I was fooled a couple of times by lots of sizing, but I still loved the fabric! :)

I have bought some very nice fabric from Walmart. If you are experienced in sewing you should be able to tell the difference between the good fabric and the not so good by just the way they feel. The Cranston line is very nice, no fading and last a long time. Our local WM is beginning to shring their fabric and craft inventory. The next nearest place to buy is 75 miles away. Makes good sense for them to keep stocking fabric and sewing notions. We'll see.

My Walmart is shrinking their fabric dept. I don't know why. They are the closest fabric place within 150 miles around. I have not browsed through it since the store is being renovated and it was rather chaos the last time. I do hope they have not shrunk it up. I have bought many fabrics from them, and have not had problems with any of them.

I just bought five yards there today!!! My kids are wanting to make pillow cases for their dad for father's day, so they picked out Broncos fabric and pirate (skull) fabric. We have been talking about how there are pirates near where he will be stationed in Africa, so they thought he would like the fabric. :lol: Anyway, he can take them with him to Africa when he deploys, so I bought sharpie markers for them to write him love messages on the top part of the pillow case so every night when he goes to sleep, he will get to see their messages. I will post pictures when we get them done.
