    Wish our Walmart would bring back their fabric dept. We lost it when they downsized & we only have 1 local fabric shop. I actually liked some of the Walmart fabris. They carried alot of different kind you can't get in quilt shops.

    Another sure bet to get the sticky off is using WD 40. I also use it to completely get rid of the liquid white out used for whiting out mistakes on paper. I accidentally spilled some white out in a large area of some favorite clothes and was told WD 40 worked. Even after it dried hard and was set in, I sprayed it on, used an old tooth brush, (at the time I should have used my ex husbands!) and scrubbed the WD 40 into the garment and it took all the white out away. I then rubbed in my Era laundry detergent and washed as usual. All gone, good as before the spill.

    Before I retired, I worked with Dept of Transportation - and one of the first things the mechanics reached for (and my husband still does is WD-40 - it is miraculous what you can solve with that stuff !!

    I found the fabric department. Fabric 3 shelves high - I can just see bolts hitting someone on the head!! No hand quilting thread. Clearance fabric mixed in with regular fabric. Whoever is in charge of the department is either not a sewer at all or doesn't have any say in what is in the department. There's a lot of fleece - in May!!!This department will never ever compete with any other fabric department!!

    Ours has just been remodeled. we have two aisles of bolts (two shelves high)and a wall of precuts. The clearance fabric is on a separate stand out front, As far as having fleece, most fabric stores carry it year-round. The stacks of flatfolds are gone. They have also expanded the yarn section.
