I sure am glad to hear this! I hope the "associate" is dedicated to that department and not the one from electronics as it is now!

Oh, and I agree - Praise the Lord (He knows I need low cost fabric, and only have time to shop in the middle of the night for those prayer quilts I make). Yes, WHOOOHOO!!!

I had already heard on this board that Walmart was keeping/bringing back fabric, so imagine my disappointment (aka OUTRAGE!!) when I was told the last one in my area to be remodeled (also the ONLY one that had fabric) is losing the fabric with the remodel!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!

Nice thought ~ too bad his company has already made a liar of him!! :cry: :thumbdown: :hunf: :-( :thumbdown: :(

As I used a walker on wheels due to my problem with walking long distances, I was placed on the ground floor of the meeting in the 8th row just down from the stage. Mr. John Aden was speaking about the fact that they were bringing back firearms to the stores. Then he said, "And, continuing with words that begin with "F", Fabric is Back". Well, without thinking, I shouted "Praise the LORD". Didn't realize my voice carried and then John said, "Did I hear a Praise the LORD"? Anyway, he said it would be full fabric that would be cut by an associate. He also said that they listened to the customers and that fabric would return to 700 stores by September. He then said that if your store had fabric, you would not lose it. I am enclosing a picture that was taken as he was speaking from the stage of this years meeting. WHOOOHOO!!!
