The fabric I have seen lately in Wal-Mart is not very good. The old adage "you get what you pay for" works very well in the fabric dept I visited recently. The only thing I hope for is a HUGE improvement in quality as new product is brought in. As a customer I have noticed that if the cost per yard is cheap, then the fabric is cheap. My time is valuable to me and I don't want to waste it.

My local Walmart was one of the first to get rid of fabric, they have never stocked any of the precuts or kits and when I asked last weekend when grocery shopping there, they will NOT be stocking any fabric at all. Said it's not a money maker at that store and will not even consider stocking fabric. Now if I could just convince my husband to never shop there again I'd be happy. I don't like their policies towards employees or the way they've run local businesses into the ground anyway. JMHO.

The Walmant here is getting fabric back when they remodel. BUT..that is in TWO years. Said I would go back to work there when that happened. Guess they would take a 70 year young former fabric sales person. LOL

Nice prices on fabric. I've asked two local Wal-Marts and neither one is bringing back fabric. One store, however, told me that the Super Wal-Marts never quit stocking fabric, but it's not very convenient for me. My SIL in SD said their local Wal-Mart never got rid of their fabric dept. I remember going there a few years ago when I was home for a family reunion and I brought back several yards of fabric I'd never seen in my local Wal-Mart. Guess it depends on who is buying the fabric. I sure wish they would bring it back.

The fabric I got for $1.50 was not the cheapy stuff they get in occasionally but the $5-6 stuff that they marked down so they didn't have to move it to the new store. This is name brand, quality flannel.
