We are getting a new superstore and they don't want to move stuff so I've gotten some great deals on fabric. Beautiful flannel for $1.50/yd, courduroy for $1.50/yd, $2 for charm squares, etc. Yes! I love a great deal!

I was at our local WalMart yesterday. They had material for $1.50 you had to look at it carefully to make sure it was not thin. Some was pretty good and some was not so good. They had stacks of material in carts that had not been priced yet. Needless to say, I will be going back.

This is from Don-isewman. I'm not sure if all of the complaining made a problem for Wal-Mart or not. Our Wal-Mart here in Muscatine, is BRINGING BACK BOLTS of material. There not selling the material yet. There only 1/2 full. When they do, I'll be checking them out more, and more. Don-isewman

This store still says they are not getting the bolts back but they are reducing the price of the fabric.
The price was worth walking back twice to get more fabric.

One of the stores in Edmond is the "original" store Guthrie was made into a super center and the store on I35/15th is "new". Would be nice to have more than just Hancocks and Hobby Lobby to chose "affordable" fabric from.

I can't imagine what will happen to it when it is washed. I bought some of their packaged fabric ONCE because I needed a certain color for lining for a tote bag. That stuff is just horrible, no more fabric from Wal Mart for me.

Perhaps the problem is NOT the fabric (or whatever product) that happens to be in a particular store -
The problem may be that the BUYER did not choose a fabric (or whatever product) appropriate for the intended use.
If I buy cheesecloth for a backing because it was cheap, then it is inappropriate for me to complain that it isn't working out well or holding up.
Don't buy it if you don't think it is suitable for your uses.
