I have 4 Wal-Marts in my general area.....don't ask...I don't know why. I only shop in 3 of them. Of those 3, 1 removed material entirely and did not get replaced with the 2-yd cuts, etc for the two facing walls. 1 went to the 2-yd cuts, etc for the two facing walls. They have jelly rolls, fat quarters, 5 in squares (can't remember what they're called), 3 yds total in coordinating fabric, batting, fiberfill, sewing machines, etc. They even sell regular name brand sewing patterns. The 3rd store will be remodeling and they will still have fabric to be cut but I won't know any more than that until it is finished.

i cruised through ours after work yesterday. it's due for a second remodel in february. the fab department will almost certainly be eliminated then.
it's ironic, really. they have really improved the selection in our store, and it's 75% good stuff. the newer fabs rate pretty high on the Snooty Scale. it was the prices that floored me. $5.47 per yard!
mind you, fabs of the same type sell for at least $9 and up everywhere else, so from that standpoint they're good prices. just a shock to see those stickers in a wally dept.

We still have a fabric dept.They also had 5 yd bolts....to sell as is, not cut from. Anyway, no cotton & it looked like a thin double knit...& some sleazy looking see thru stuff. Didn't notice any FQs or pre cuts.
