Yep WM will be going to all precut fabric--I called their 800#. We will only have Joanne's now. We got the $5 bolts this week--their plan is to add party supplies?? I use to work in their fabric dept. We have people coming from about a 200 mi. radius to buy because we are close to the CA border. Our next closest place is about 200 miles north to buy fabric. If enough people call i-800-WALMART they may change their minds.

I bought some of the 5 yd/$5 fabric at Walmart, but returned it because it didn't contain any cotton. I didn't inspect the fabric while in the store because I was in sort of a hurry, but after returning home and unwrapping it, I noticed it was very thin and some sort of polyester fabric. Our store didn't have any cotton. Would have been a great deal for 100% cotton, though.

I also noticed that a lot of the fabric that was labeled cotton was of unkown origin !!!! I did not buy any. I am disappointed though as well , useful for finding 100 % cotton in the actual dept for reasonable price for quickie children quilts that they drag around with them everywhere and get washed many many times !!!! :0)

The stuff in the 'golden mile' Walmart in York county is sort of on the really cheap side. Very thin. Some was extra wide and there was a bolt of extra thick heavy stuff that felt like an animal hide. Ugly. The good stuff must have all been sold till I got there!

I saw this last night. Some is nice prints Cotton/poly blend. some is pure crap & that is being nice. Didn't have time to look long Dh was waiting in truck. I bet this will be the fabric of the future for Walmart. I think they are mill ends. Not sure so don't quote me on it. Gonna look closer when I go back in a little while.

Saw your pics. Your store got better stuff than mine. Last year they had a special fabric sale & it was all $1.00 a yard. Was out of town so I missed it but was told there was hundres of bolts of fabric & some really nice.
