My local Wal-Mart has completely restocked the fabric department. A few weeks ago they had a 75% off all fabric sale; it seemed like they brought in fabric from other stores. I guess they were trying to clear out all of the old stock. Last week I was shocked (and thrilled!) to find a huge amount of brand-new fabric there. Now if only they would station someone at the cutting table during peak hours....LOL... because I can never find anyone to cut yardage for me!

Our Wal-Mart never did stop carrying fabric. It had an adequate supply.

My local Wallie went from a small store to a BB about three years ago. They kept the fabric. Then they got a hot shot corporate head that decided to "update" the new store. What a joke. Of course fabric was going out. Instead, after all our complaining, he went out. They are now remodeling the store again which is okay but the good news....... our fabric is staying. They moved it to another location in the store nearer the groceries and for the life of me, I don't know why. However, we still have bolt fabric plus the $5.00 bolts and the $1.50 a yard. Yes the price is a little higher, but that was to be expected. We had a Hobby Lobby open a mile a way and I'm thinking that may have had some influence since it has been a big hit. Can't you see me dancin' all the way to the store with my walker?

My WalMart never stopped carrying fabric; however I have noticed that they have been carrying more lately. Yeah! I use their fabric all the time and have never had a problem. I can buy the same fabric as in a fabric store for several dollars less.

What WONDERFUL news. Maybe they listened to all of us???
Thanks for sharing the wonderful news.

We've had the same four girls in our fabric section since the store was built, enlarged and then remodeled. They know us by name, fabric preference, (show us new stuff in our likable field) check the beginning for a straight edge cut and look for flaws. We luv 'em and tell the bosses frequently.One's getting ready to retire and we're begging her not to.

I make about 6 trips a year to the Elkins area, and always load up on fabrics. Some are luscious, and just jump into my buggy. Other fabrics, the course stuff, are great for the 10 year olds to use because, although a lower quality, it won't slip and slide much. It's great practice fabric for their little budgets.

Hope it's soon!

Talked to an employee at our local Walmart because store seemed so unorganized and out of certain merchandise lately. She said that the corporate office has now taken over scheduling of # of employees instead of the department heads. They (company heads) are not always aware of local condition near facilities. Is there a big local event this weekend and will more people be in to buy coldcuts and salads? Is there a fabric store next door to the Walmart or is the closest one 50 miles away. Sometimes don't you wonder just how the high paid CEO's get such high salaries!! :roll: :roll:
