Hi all, I want to buy some fabric from Crowsnest quilting on ebay, but I've never heard of the brand name "General Fabrics" before. Is it still nice quality stuff? It seems she has a lot of brights from this company, and that's what I need, especially for $2.99 a yard!
Thanks!

The General Fabrics is often found in WalMart fabric departments. i've used a lot of it over the years. i would rate it approximately 6.5 out of 10 on the "snooty scale" (10 being the highest.). not as nice as something like Moda, but much nicer than Wally's $2.50 fabs. it's medium weight. huge selection of prints and colors within each collection. it's easy to work with, holds up well in the wash, and doesn't fade or bleed. (i have found the odd little skip in a small spot in the print on a few pieces i've bought. very rarely, and i've always been able to work around it.) it's a great value for the price.

I have purchased twice from them and have been very happy with what I received. Yes, Walmart does carry some of this fabric, I was at Walmart the other day and saw a few of the fabrics I had got from them. They ship fast,and will combine shipping, so be sure to buy enough to fill the flat rate package. Lace

I have bought lots and lots of fabrics from Crow's Nest. The material is great! I love the Red Rooster fabric most, but ALL of it is good! I found that the colors on my computer screen matched the material exactly when it came.
And like Lace above said, they do combine shipping so wait until you get the combined shipping invoice to pay! You won't be disappointed!

of course, once you factor in getting it for $2.99 per yard, it shoots up to a 217.96543821 ;-)
