Easy Quilt Question

My WalMart in SC is selling pre-packaged fabric with instruction or a
pattern to make pj's or other project. They also have a few of the patterns
that are usually on top of the pattern files in the local fabric stores. I
just got back from Florida and the WalMart in my town there has not changed
their fabric dept at all. At least not yet.

Ok, so Wal-mart has gone across the country and taken out all of their
fabric departments, then slowly Jelly Rolls were making their way back in
and now they are selling "Quilter's Fabric" by the yard. *It is coming in
one yard packages. *Then you can also purchase fabric to make yourself a
pair of jammie pants or a pair of shorts etc, - just the right amount of
fabric is there.

So what's the point of taking out the department if you're still going to
sell fabric????? *What am I missing?

Hmmm, I pretty much love cheap, but not when it comes to batting. I
learned that lesson the first couple quilts I made some years ago. I
used the only batting I knew about, which was that stuff that comes
rolled in a plastic bag at Wal-Mart. Ick. Took me some time to learn
the word 'bearding' for what happened. That and making a mess of my
needles and dulling my scissors. And lumped. And just plain ugly even
when stitched between two layers of fabric.

As for seams pressed open, I do that all the time to cut down on bulk.
I think with finer grained fabric the seams look better when pressed
open.

Glad to hear the niece has come over to the side of good and light.

Ha! I did the very same thing. The first quilt I made I used some
awful
batting from Hobby Lobby that was probably even worse than what
Wal Mart sells. *About the
third washing, the batting was....gone. It just disappeared. It's like
a
quilt with no batting now. I have no idea where it went or how it got
out.
I'm glad to hear so many people buck the quilt police and press open
when it suits them. You rebels you.

If it's precut and pre-packaged, there's no need for someone who has
experience doing that. Just pick a package of pre-cut fabric off the
hook and take it to the cashier. I have no idea if our WalMart has
taken out the fabric or not - I try not to go there. ;-) For non-
food items, I go to K-Mart.
