Discover Walmart's Secret Crafting Supplies

[@BarbaraPrater-l3s]

I love the pioneer woman fabrics. They are no longer available at my Walmart. Last year I bought two different lines. I have so much fabric to make several quilts. I’ve made a couple of charity quilts. The money I used to buy the pioneer woman fabric was a refund from a fellow in my zoom Bible Study group. We went in on a school supply project together last year and so he sent me a check to pay for his part of it. I took that money and bought fabric at Walmart. You can imagine how how far his money went. Fast forward to this year, his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. So I made her a quilt out of the pioneer woman fabric and got it into the mail to her. Oh my goodness, what a surprise that was, and how appreciated.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Wow! Thank you for sharing, what a wonderful thing you did for her, how sweet.

Just a word of caution for new sewists, many machines are brand specific for bobbins. I would check your machine for compatability first.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is true. Thank you for pointing that out. I was going to add a note on screen, but forgot. I'll add it to the description so someone isn't disappointed. 💖

[@audreygervais8508]

My machine uses specific bobbins. Also don’t use or buy cheap thread. I also fell in a Walmart parking lot, chasing my cart so it wouldn’t hit another vehicle. I should have known at 65, not to run because I have had a knee replacement and both hips replaced. 🤦‍♀️😂🤣😂🤣 What was I thinking?

Waverly is NOT a Walmart brand of fabric. The company was founded in 1923. It was purchased in 2008 by Iconix Brand Group. It's a family of brands, which includes Waverly Inspirations (available at WalMart). I have been purchasing Waverly fabric for well over 40 years. It's only been in the last 10 years or less that I have seen it at WalMart.

I love those transfers. My grandmother and I added them to tea towels for her kitchen. She would embroidery and I used the paints that came in tubes (like toothpaste) with the ball like point that were permanent. I so wish I had those precious towels. 😊

[@leilanispeck2655]

My mom used to do that too. She also made me skirts and dresses and would add that kind of painting/embroidery. The biggest brand was Tri-Chem. I did a little bit too, but I didn’t enjoy it like my mom did.

[@lindad6223]

Great idea about those 2 and 4 yard cuts to use for backing!

[@DebbieAllred3]

I don't go inside Wal-Mart very often, but I do curbside grocery pickup at WM every week. I love that I can include thread, basting spray, etc., with my grocery order without going inside the store or making a special trip to JoAnn. I do a lot of charity quilting and I use Waverly Inspirations solids for backing. Affordable, 100% cotton, feels good and comes in a myriad of colors. One of the WM stores in my town has bolts of fabric, and once in a while I'll pick up backing fabric there. However, the department is usually unmanned, and getting someone to cut takes a long time. If I don't need the fabric right away, ordering online is a better solution for me, by-the-yard or in pre-cut yardage. I just have to plan ahead and wait for the mail.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That all sounds like a great idea.

Hi I just wanted to let you know that Waverly fabric has been around for a long time. Many years ago you could only special order Waverly products through special order. They started with wall paper and had special fabrics that coordinated with the wall paper. They have come a long way. They now have many different patterns and products with the Waverly brand.

[@mamieyates3352]

Was in our local Walmart Thursday and was told they were going to stop selling bolt fabric. He said all they would be carrying precut only and that was suppose to be by the end of the year. He cut my fabric and it was already on clearance. I reminded him they tried this years ago and it didn’t go over and he said yes but this time they are planning on removing the cutting table. It took 3 people coming by and calling for someone to come to the fabric table. He made asked if I had hit the button and I said no , because they had removed the help button while he was off. He then stated well they’ve started already. So I figure we need to let Walmart know we want to keep our fabric by the bolt.

I don't shop that often at Walmart, for fabric I'd rather go to my quilt store, Joann's or even Hobby Lobby but I have bought a few yards there ( decent quality) and some quilting notions at Walmart. I do buy the Coats and Clark thread at Walmart when they put them on sale, got 10 white and 5 black for 0.50 each. I would NOT buy the "bundles" of multicolored sewing thread at Walmart again; I did get some and they kept breaking in my machine. Coats and Clarks is not expensive but great quality. Just buy the ones you need.

Enjoying this video; however, a word about the packaged Pre-Cuts…, jelly roll specifically. Do not buy the jelly roll strips - period. They are poorly cut and they are bowed. I managed to make a table runner, but it was challenging and had a lot of waste. The same holds true for the JoAnn’s store brand for jelly rolls. The fat quarters and yardage, pre-cut yardage fabric are pretty good and I agree with you on those. About the thread, it’s okay thread, but be aware, you might need a slightly larger machine needle because it is a little thicker thread and will add bulk. Ask me how I know. That said, if that’s all you can afford, go for it. I will say, that I do use some of the fabric from Walmart as well as JoAnn’s. Walmart has come such a long way with their fabric quality overall. I hope you’ll continue to talk about places where you can purchase affordable fabrics and supplies. Thanks!!

I have always quilted my own quilts. I put on a walking foot and do a straight stitch between all blocks horizontally and vertically to stabilize the quilt sandwich.

Hand quilting can be a beautiful way to finish your quilt! It adds a personal touch and allows you to enjoy the process.

The ROM, especially the dinosaur exhibit is a big hit with kids. The St. Lawrence Market on a Saturday morning for a Carousel Bakery Peameal on a Bug for breakfast is a satisfying and reasonably priced breakfast. Follow that with a stroll along Front Street westward to see the Flat Iron building and behind it is Berczy Park with it's famous 'dog fountain'. Watch for the cat, watching the bird easter egg. Easy afternoon, is a trip to the Beach/Beaches, walk the boardwalk, take a swim and then wander up to Queen street (a block away) and have a dinner on a patio. (This is my neighbourhood so I can tell you that there's plenty of decent places to eat). Unless your heart is set on it, then skip the CN Tower and if you're coming by or have access to a car, Niagara Falls is an hour away, Niagara on the Lake has the butterfly conservatory and peaches/corn are in full swing in the next few weeks.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Maybe you can order online?

[@lindad6223]

@@ISeeStarsQuilting yep.... I have done that, but I swear the same stockers must have programmed the website search! It helps that "my walmart"... is actually 3 within 10 miles, with another 3 or 4 very large stores across town. hoping for new fabrics next season.

The Walmarts are doing a lot of remodeling around here and doing away with the bolts and going with pre-cuts. If you are lucky to catch them at the beginning of the reset, you can get a lot of fabric at low-low prices. I'm dreading when they do the one by me, very little choices. I've never had an issue with Waverly fabrics.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You can order online as well if you would like.

[@annolsen8276]

@ISeeStarsQuilting just bought over 60 yards of fabric at Walmart for $32. All are 1 yd precut, so I'm looking at a lot of 3 yard quilt patterns.

My Walmart does not carry this many craft supplies. Darn!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You can also order online from Walmart.

[@jennyharris2993]

Some Walmarts have a complete fabric section where they have bolts and others don’t. It just depends I live in Phx and we have both kinds

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Yes, this is very true.

Check out the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). In Toronto - there is a specI also exhibit on Quilts: Made in Canada, and it has a great dinosaur exhibit, the Ripleys Aquarium is great too.

So cool!

I was looking to store and stack pre-curated quilt projects (ie monthly subscription boxes) and even build some of my own, and found the 12" x 12" x 3" clear scrapbook case by Simply Tidy at Michael's work perfectly. They have room for layer cakes or jelly rolls, threads, the patterns and even contrasting fabric. I think the item # is 10575615, and they are currently half off at $4.99.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Wow, what a great deal.

The small balls of yarn are cotton and used for dishcloths.....

Great video. I make Project Linus quilts and can get some great fabrics for kids there.

[@jojomomster3772]

Maybe go to Walmart in Toronto, you will understand better what we are up against in Canada.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I'm curious. What's the biggest difference in your Walmart?

[@jojomomster3772]

@@ISeeStarsQuilting Walmarts in Canada have nowhere near the fabric selection of the American ones
