    I thought it was my imagination.
    This is why I never order fabric from Connecting Threads...mine was so thin you could almost see thru it.

    They supply Hancock fabrics as well.

    That said, you paid $3.99 a yard. Did you expect $12.00 quality?

    Is Marshall Dry Goods like the Big Lots of fabric? Do they buy up leftovers? I was on their site and saw...Riley Blake, RJR etc for 3.99 and 4.99 yd.

    I think it is because they buy out last years prints. Most of my fabrics are not current anyway, so it works for me. and how do blenders and solids go out of style?

    I've always had good luck with them--sorry you didn't. Try contacting them, I have found them helpful.

    Yes I noticed that Marshall Dry Goods had the some of the same fabrics as ones I had bought at Walmart. I picked out some for $3/yard that had the feel of Quilt shop fabrics.

    We buy some of our fabrics for resell from Marshall's. I have never had an issue with anything we have bought from them. I like being able to get name brand fabrics from them and sell them at a small profit to pass on to others. I buy bolts of white on white fro them and have never been disappointed.
