I have 5 Wal-marts in a 45 mile radius and all but one are losing or have lost their fabric. the one that has it, might as well not. They have one little row of fabric. Wal-mart does not care about the sewer or quilter. They are enlargeing the electronics and party supplies departments. I have been byuing several pieces off e-bay.

Hey LindaR,
where in Michigan do you live? I am in the Port Huron area,and wish our brand new bigger w-m would bring back the fabric dept.
I think a lot of why they got rid o0f it wasbecause after 9p.m., it was very hard to find someone to work that department and the ones who did, didn't know a thing about what they were doing.
I'll have to post a picture of the quilt I made for myself with all the fabric from only w-m. Good thing I had bought enough at the time, cause when I went back, the fabric was all gone.
Sorry to see them go.

Good for you Darlene.You have to do what you have to do. I buy from LQS and some at Wal-Mart. I guess I am in the minority, but I actually like my Wal-Mart. Always have . When you are on a buget ...like I say. You do what you have to do.

I used to go all the time back when they only carried made in USA stuff so you can guess how many years that has been. Since Sam Walton passed away it has been downhill ever since.
I would rather support my LQS or a my local Hancock Fabrics.

I am glad to know there are still people who are happy with the fabrics from WalMart. I do not shop Wal-Mart unlessI am traveling and there are no other choices. The ones I stop at have clean rest rooms!
