Speaking of Walmart (was 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. |

Maybe someone can explain this to me because I am sooooooo confused. 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? -- Cindy from GA (but wants to be in MO) "Sherry" wrote in message ...

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. Sunny 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. Sherry- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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. N. |
