Mine has fabric now I haven't bought any yet as I am trying to stop buying fabric. I have way too much.

The Aurora,CO W-mart (close to Aurora Mall) is remodeling AND getting a larger fabric dept: lots more bolts, batting, notions, etc AND AND AND it's closer to the front of the store!! How nice of them to make it more convenient and faster for me to spend my money (-;

According to one girl in the WM in Fremont, MI, they're getting more fabric, but no more room. Prices are higher. :::sigh:::

I have 3 Walmarts within 20 minutes of me. 2 of the stores in Ft. Myers removed there fabric , but the 1 in Lehigh never removed theirs, but the dept. moved and is smaller. I do not like pre cut fabric and would never buy it

The Walmart in Muscatine Ia was getting theirs back the last time I was in there. It wasn't as large as it used to be but, they will have it by the bolt. Now, Tipton needs to get theirs back in and we will be set. LOL I doubt that this will happen but I can hope. ;)

I live about 1 mile from one Walmart and about 4 miles from another. The one closest I will not set foot in because it is taking a real chance even parking in the lot. The crime is terrible. This store is where they moved all the fabric to from the One 4 miles away. I inquires at the Derby store and was told I'd have to go to the crime ridden store for fabric. They told me we would have to call the 800 number and send e-mails to get it returned to Derby. I guess we will have to flood their phones and e-mails.

The 2 Wal-Marts closest to me have never discontinued their fabric but this year both have gotten slightly smaller. The fabrics that were $3.50 & 3.97 are mostly $5.95+ now. The broadcloth they had at 1.97 is $3 and too thin to use as quilt backing. I do look there for my backing but with the LSQ selling 108" wide for $12.99 that usually comes out cheaper. However I will admit I do look everytime I am there. I was glad to see warm and natural batting is half the price per yard of Joann's. Our Joann's here has surpassed the LQS price on a lot of things so I avoid them plus they are a 30-40 minute drive for me. The batiks last week were $12.99 a yard at Joann's and $9.99 & 10.99 at LQS.
