    We have a new SuperWal mart and they haven't brought material back. Really disappointed. The one at the beach which is 3 hrs from me has lovely fabric.

    Mine is so small it is useless. Not much selection and matching fabrics for a project is impossible. Plus whoever picks out the fabrics they stock is not a quilter.

    Our Wal-Mat is full of beautiful materials - all at reasonable prices. It's especially nice since we have to go at least an hour away to a quilt store! I guess we're lucky because an hour away doesn't sound too bad, does it?

    Went to a Walmart close to me that brought back the fabric and I was really disappointed in the quality.

    It appears that different WalMart stores have very different selections of fabrics available.

    Once upon a time, I thought that all of the stores in a particular chain carried the same things! Wrong!!!!

    The WalMart in Duarte, CA, never got rid of their fabric department. I was there a couple days ago and the employee cutting my fabric said fabric is returning to all the WalMarts because "they listened to their complaining customers." Their prices have climbed steadily the past couple of years for their fabrics but the average quality has remained the same. They have gotten rid of their bargain table too.

    I have three WalMarts within driving distance from me ranging from 20 miles to 50 miles. One of the smaller ones never got rid of their fabric and now have a very large variety plus it's reasonable priced. So thankful.

    Went to one last night that has put fabric back. It's a small space; kind of a "fabric island" in the middle of the big store. Very happy with the selections I made for the next applique quilt I plan to start. Prices are higher, but isn't everything? Nice selection of notions; still have the pre-cuts too. One of the fabrics fades a little; reaffirms my choice to always rinse before using, as this happens even with some of the lqs fabrics too.
