yup, I received the same form letter response too.
My reply was:
Thank you for your response, unfortunately this is the last time you will hear from me, because it is clear you people don't have enough sense to listen. I enjoyed the fabrics in your store, and now that it's gone, I have no need to go there.

Just sent mine and told them that since I have to drive an additional 20-30 minutes to get to a fabric store, that I have begun shopping at Meijer and Target instead of Walmart since they are closer to the fabric store than Walmart. Hopefully, we can all hit them where they hurt and get some fabric back!

The Wal-Mart in the Trenton/Lawrenceville/Princeton, NJ area just started the liquidation of the fabric department. The 25% sale has started. I don't think they are hearing us or care. Fabric was the only reason I went to Wal-Mart...no need to go any more.

Choose "Company feedback and questions" and tell them what you want. If they hear from a few thousand of us, it could just work.

Dear Diana,
Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the fabric department in your local store. As with any merchandise decision that we make, we have based our decision to reduce the stitching and fabric departments on customer demand, which does not appear to be as high today for a full stitching and fabric offering in some markets as it may have been at Walmart in the past.
In keeping with our emphasis on being a store of the community, Walmart is converting the fabrics and crafts department in some stores to a newly expanded assortment of merchandise that focuses on life's celebrations. We are thrilled to offer our customers this exciting new crafts and celebrations center that makes available craft and party planning needs along with information on current trends and new ideas in the area of life's celebrations, such as holidays, weddings and birthdays.
In those stores where the new crafts and celebrations center is placed, merchandise commonly referred to as 'notions' will be included in the product offerings - such as sewing machines, yarn, needles, thread, etc. As a part of this conversion, most of our new and remodeled stores that opened earlier this year, as well as a small number of existing stores, will feature the new crafts and celebrations center in place of bolt fabrics. Walmart will continue to carry cut fabric in most of our stores. Due to the continued evaluation of our stores, we are unable to share a list of existing stores scheduled to receive the new crafts and celebrations center at this time.
Sincerely,
Walmart Customer Care
