I really hope they do bring back the fabric. It would be great!

Time will tell. Don't hold your breath.

There are several Walmarts here, within a 20 min drive from each other. One does not have the fabric anymore, there are others who do. They may be looking at the $ amt. the dept bought in at that store, so it closed. But the stores that have fabric, have not heard of any closings.
I only purchase their fabrics for sm projects or just to experiment with a project. I found out, I have to be careful about the colorfastness, although I use Shouts' colorcatcher. One time I did all the prewashing and still had color bleed out onto my machinger gloves and machine. I don't know how you would test that in the
store other than rub the fabric against something white to see if color comes out of it.

Goes to show you how out of touch Walmart is. Too bad we can't forward all these comments to the CEO. Women sew more than they party! Our party's right in the quilt room and on this board!

:thumbup: I have used their fabric for years & never had one problem with any of it. Stuff was washed 100s of times till OK.

You all need to move to Massachusetts. My local Walmart cut their fabric dept. way back. It's not much bigger than a closet, but they still have bolts of fabric. But last fall a wonderful man opened "The 1.99 yd fabric store" Needless to say I all but live there now. He has some wonderful fabrics, including heavier weight for upholstery. I heard that Walmart is bringing back their fabric dept full scale, but I don't care anymore. I'll stick to the $1.99 place. He also carries batik at times.

Wow, we are planning a trip to the east coast..where in Massachusetts?

It's in Auburn, MA which is just east of Worcester. They don't have a website yet, but they are on Facebook. Look under "That $!.99 Fabric Store". They add new pictures as they get new stock. If you are going to be in the area, it certainly is worth going to.

I was @ wal Mart yesterday buying fabric and this lady ask if I was making a quilt. I told her I was and she said you should come join us @ the COA (Community On Aging). She said they meet every Tuesday, sew and help each other. I thought this was so great, just had to post it. mary from West Virginia.

Our fabric department isn't closing. I'm glad for that because they do have some nice fabric, at least ours does. We also have a JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, Hancock, and various other quilting stores, so I have much to pick from! Just wish I had more time. I have been working slowly on Grandma's Flower Garden Quilt. It's fun because I like so many different prints, so I just go crazy with it.
