VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!

I placed an order with Marshall Dry Goods or something like that. I bought Christmas fabric, which is very cute but it is almost transparent. I thought JoAnne Fabric was thin. I had my DH feel the Marshall fabric and being a guy, his reaction was why am I feeling this fabric. I then gave him a piece of fabric from M* and he couldn't believe what a difference in thickness. He even said, why don't I stick with M* because, you know you are getting good fabric.
I thought it was my imagination.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I bought some fabric from them last week and it is beautiful and is not thin at all. It feels wonderful. I put it next to some of the expensive name brand fabrics I have and it is very close to the same quality.

That happens sometimes even at good quilt stores. I just bought some solid black at my LQS and realized after I cut it that it is thinner than my other fabric that I've bought there. Wasn't real happy with it, but I need to get this quilt done for a birthday. I'd call Marshall's and let them know that you are not pleased.

Once you have crappy fabric you never want it again!

I bought some white fabric at my LQS and when I started to use it, it felt almost like gauze, it was so thin. So for my whites, blacks and creams I tend to stick with Moda or Kona and order from M*.

I bought from Marshall Dry Goods too , and I was very happy with the fabric I received. Sometimes it is just crappy fabric no matter where you buy it.

Was there a fabric brand?

Call them. Their customer service is outstanding. I've ordered from them for a long time. Once they sent an order to our place in FL after I had requested it sent to KY. I had even gotten the confirmation that it was being sent to KY. A neighbor called to let me know about the package and when I called Marshall Drygoods, they duplicated the order at no cost to me and sent it to the right place. Almost 5 yards of fabric and said no charge due to the inconvenience caused me. I've never gotten inferior fabric from them.

Will washing it tighten it up a bit? Feel your disappointment.

Marshall dry goods either carries a lot of the same fabric that Walmart has, or is a supplier to walmart. Many of their fabrics are stiff and rough, but I have found that the wash up beautifully.
