I am in desperate need of a walmart that still sells fabric. I know there are atleast 2 WM's in Paducah but what I don't know is if they still sell fabric on the bolt. I would hate to take the 45 minute drive to find out that they don't have fabric. My WM still carries fabric but they don't have what I need and won't be getting anymore in because it was a summer item. So if you happen to live in Paducah can you please tell me if they still carry fabric.
Thank you

I have a Walmart here that has a big fabric dept. I don't mind checking for you and mailing the fabric to you. What do you need. I may have it in my stash!

If I can't find a WM near me with fabric's then I would appreciate you looking for me. I'm trying not to have pay shipping because I will need a minimum of 6 yards and the fabric is almost 4 bucks a yard. But I will tell you what it looks like. It is a Batik that is brown with pink. The brown looks like it was swirl with a lighter color so it's not completely brown all the way thru. I may be incontact with in a week if I can't find it close to me. Thank you, Carrie

I saw many dyed swirl fabric last week. Much of it was marked down to half price so it won't be there long. If you can post a picture I'll be sure it's what you need and have it saved.

Here is the best pic I have of the fabric. My camera has a hard time capturing the colors. It is brown with pink. Thank you

just curious, did you call them? You can go to google and type "walmart paducah kentucky" and all the info with phone numbers will show up.

Cute fabric,

cjomomma 08-11-2010 04:09 AM

The problem with calling them is WM customer service is horrible. Our WM customer service used to be fabulous and now it has hit rock bottom and now the head person or person's in fabric's know nothing about fabric's at all and can't even tell you anything about the fabric's.

5130 Hinkleville Road---nope they do not sell by the yard

3220 Irving Cobb Dri.---Yup they sell by the yard. and I asked about your fabric, she didn't see anything that looked like that. But, hey you never know, worth a trip. She was super nice too.

I didn't think to ask how much fabric they have but when she answered the phone, she answered as "Fabrics"

Thank you. Wow, I am surprised you actually got someone in fabric's. It would be nice if WM would sell the fabric's online like they do everything else in their stores.

knlsmith 08-11-2010 04:24 AM

no problemo. anytime

cjomomma 08-18-2010 07:58 PM

My Sister that lives in Lexington, Ky, had no luck finding the fabric for me. She said that all the WM's there quit selling fabric's. If anyone happens to run across this pleae tell me.

I will ck on Friday when I am out and about. I know of one WM that still sells fabric here.

That would be wonderful. Please let me know either way. Thank you

If someone finds it for you, they can put it in a gallon bag and sit on it to get all the air out. After they seal the bag, it will fit into the flat rate envelope. I do this when I sell fabric on eBay. It will puff out again when you get it. That would bring the shipping down to $4.95. Good luck.

That's a good idea but I'm not sure 6yds. of this will fit in a flat rate envelope.

CJ, I have 3 yards of this fabric. PM me If you want it. I bought this at Joanns.

hcarpanini 08-20-2010 12:45 PM

I will look in my Wal-Mart in Indiana. We still have fabric.

mhunt1717 08-20-2010 12:45 PM

Let you sister in Lexington know that the WalMart in Nicholasville still sells fabric on the bolt!

cjomomma 08-20-2010 01:06 PM

Some one found 3 7/8 yd. So if anyone comes across 3 yds. Please let me know.

np3 08-20-2010 01:10 PM

We have 2 WM that still sell fabric. Neither one had this fabric. Sorry...

cjomomma 08-20-2010 01:11 PM

Someone may have found all that I need. I will let you know.

cjomomma 08-25-2010 06:17 PM

I finally have all of this fabric that I need. You all have been great helping me find this. Thank you to all of you so much.

The Walmart on the west side of Evansville, Indiana (app 120 miles east of Paducah) still sells fabric. I purchased a whole bolt of my favorite fabric recently.
