I have WM fabric in my stash and have made several quilts with their fabric,I always did the feel check and made sure that I could NOT see thru it,the quilts I have made have held up quite nicely.If I go to a WM that still has fabric I buy,so far no regrets. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Just remember you get what you pay for.

I shop for alot of my fabric at Walmart. Yes, I agree with everyone else that you can get the same exact fabric for a higher price and it is not of the same quality at the LQS. I have noticed that the lesser priced fabrics do not hold up and will shred. That is why I will buy the higher priced fabric from Walmart, and still come out ahead of the game.
I'll have to buy more totes for fabric now! :D

It will get results.
