I know this might not be the same everywhere, but the local Walmart had all their pre-cuts on clearance. Most were already gone but there were some half yard batiks left for 75 cents. Yea! I picked up the few they had left.

There were also stash starters, jelly rolls, etc marked down. But the stash samples were marked down the most.

The batiks appear to be the same that Walmart occasionally carried, and I have been happy with in the past.

They brought back their fabric departments in IL!!!!

Our WalMart has an awesome fabric department. The people who work in the department are the reason. They work hard to keep the fabric lines together and neatly bolted. The fabric choices are great. I have been purchasing lots of fabric from there lately and my fellow quilters cannot believe it came from WalMart.

Our WalMart fabric dept never has anyone that works in that area and I'm usually on my lunch break. They do have Waverly fabric for $3.97 that is very nice and I try to buy it when someone will cut it. If I could figure out how to run the scanner I would cut an scan the fabric myself.

Our Walmart has Waverly designs in the quilt fabrics. Very pretty and coordinates.

Our Walmart has a nice selection but clerks are never near. With all our tech advances one should think of a way for folks to cut their own fabric. Not even a bell to ring for help.

Most Walmart store managers do not like the fabric dept in their store so they want it to be a low profit high expense for the store.

Haven't seen those clearances BUT they sure have brought in some really nice new fabrics.and way more sewing machines are appearing on shelf.

Oh, do I know the feeling! I am so tempted to at least cut my own fabric! The department in our two Wal-Marts is not regularly manned, either, and so some poor soul trying to stock groceries gets called to cut....and often knows nothing about it. I so often want to say "here, let me show you," but I don't, of course.

Having said all that, Wal-Mart often has some very nice fabric, the same you find in Jo-Ann's, and less expensive. And their fat quarters are always 97 cents (in the stores here, anyway), compared to $2.25 or more at Jo-Ann's.

In our local WM the young lady in charge of the fabrics is also in charge of the paint dept.across the aisle. She is great at both jobs but she would like to just be in charge of the fabric dept. She is all of 20yrs old but she comes from a quilting family - the youngest member of our local chapter of FabAnon -but if WM ever sold it she can get it.
