    Ours never lost fabric and the store was newly remodeled with tall shelves of fabric. More than they had before, but many of the buttons have been discontinued. My mother uses lots of the quarter inch fish eye buttons and I would order them through Walmart. Now they no longer carry them and I was told that they can't order them. She makes baby clothes by hand and only uses that size. Oh well, guess I'll start hunting the web.

    There's a W-Mart in my area that is remodeling/expanding and they are not only keeping their fabric dept, BUT it's bigger and closer to the front of the store. THANKS WAL-MART for making it easier for me to spend my money. (-;

    I have about 4 super walmarts around my area, and no fabric, I will take it back, one of them does, but haven't been there for quite some time, so not sure they still run the fabric...
    But so glad they are putting the fabric back in.
    I know this is off the topic, but I didn't realize they took the tire & lube out of some of them too. I had some very good service with them.

    anyway yeaaaa for the fabric coming in!

    They are restocking the fab dept in the Mentor, OH. Walmart. It does not seem to be as large as before but, is better than nothing.

    When our local WM discontinued fabric several years ago, I emailed the CEO and thanked him for saving me money. Told him I'd been in the habit of dropping by WM several times a week to get a yard or two or fabric and usually spent $75 or more on other things every time I went in. Told him that since they'd discontinued fabric I'd only been in the store once that month. Guess other people did the same thing. Last year they posted their first ever quarterly loss. Think this would have made them sit up and think. LOL

    Only problem is here, there are bolts and bolts from China and frankly it isn't of very good quality. They downsized our fabric dept too.
