Sorry to hear that your WM isn't getting fabric back. I sort of thought it was a done deal that they all were getting fabric. I live in Carrollton, GA, not far from Ga/ALA line and was hoping we get fabric here...guess I need to ask. Actually, I never go to Walmart because I'm so near the local Kroger and get to use double coupons.....
I have a daughter that lives outside of Rolla, MO and their WM never lost fabric;because they are a fairly large Amish Community their fabric was never taken away...

Our WM is about two years old and never carried fabrics, not even the precuts, so I don't think we'll be getting a fabric department. However, the one just 15 miles from me is getting their fabrics back, and it appears to be the same amount as before.

Darn, I was just in there and didn't pay attention to the prices on the batting!
I found nice quilt material for $1.50 a yard, though! Boy did I stock up.
Our WalMart has just enhanced our fabric department, adding a row of sewing machines and a row of notions, and 3 rows of fabric and the back all types of batting. Since Joann's in our area just consolidated 3 stores into 1 and raised prices, guess where I'm hanging out these days!

Neptune, NJ.......
I was told the other evening that I couldn't get any fabric cut as the department was being revamped and was closed until the new fabrics came and the department would be open in a few weeks.
I didn't think to look at batting at the time but will do so on the next visit and if I am lucky, I, too, will get some good buy.
I went to Joann's in another local town and the fabric was so thin I went out empty-handed. I was really disappointed with what I found at Joann's and it was a grand opening of a newly remodeled store.
