Great to hear. I new one of our three stores has Fabric and they had told me it was also going to be put back into one of the other two stores, so hopefully that will happen also.
I know allot of sewing customers here will be happy. :-D

Did you know that Walmart sells some of their fabric online and will ship it to your local Walmart store.

I would be so happy if Walmart would reopen the fabric department at my store. I have to drive 30 miles to the closest fabric store now.

My super WM just put in packages of pre-cuts. Very dissapointing. The WM -old style- about 30 miles away still has a beautiful fabric department.

Unfortunatly, our Wal-Mart is Statesville, NC has no plans to return fabric to our store. But we do have LQS!

I just moved back to the Indianapolis area after living elsewhere for ten years. I noticed at first that they were creating huge empty spots in the stores, then shelving, then a few bolts, then lots of bolts. The only problem seems to be that they do not have a functioning cutting table.

I think Walmart will probably try to take it out again by citing lack of sales. I don't know know many people are going to walk back up to the front of the store to ask for someone who knows how to cut fabric and then stand and wait up to 10 minutes for the cutter to get to the fabric department. I'm persistent, so I waited the ten minutes. In the one store, there was one of those paging phones in the new fabric "department." I was just lifting the receiver to do my own paging when the cutter arrived.

Our Wal-Mart just got the fabric department back and it is about a fourth of the size it was before they got rid of it. I have not been impressed with what they have now. As a matter of fact, they've had it back about 2 months and I have not bought one piece of fabric there.

I've heard one of the WalMarts in Broken Arrow, OK is getting fabric back in. I'm to the point tho, I'm so mad at Walmart for taking it out and I've found a couple LQS close to me that I now frequent that I prefer to support them as they are local owned and not money grabbers like WM has now become. When they closed the fabric dept, they pretty well lost most of my business. Only time I ever go to WM now is for my med's. Unfortunately, they are the cheapest place.

The Walmart in Temecula, CA, has their fabric department back, about half the size as before, cutting table very small, but the employee is always there...just wish it was bigger like before, but at this point something is better than nothing....And our Hobby Lobby is opening in a little more than a week, So I will be blessed with that option also.....
