I just talked to the fabric lady tonight and it's official. They will be remodeling Feb/Mar and the fabric will be gone. :cry: I hope I can find a little $$ to stock up before then! Some of it is horrible, but some of it is very nice...

i worked on the remodel crew and it is our understanding that all fabric depts will go out with the new remodel within the next 5 years

it might be a little scary, but you can still find some great bargains online. please don't despair.

Not here! They remodeled a couple of years ago and we still have fabric, plus they're getting more. It's over stocked.

Our also in Summerville and Charleston, SC. Oh, Tuesy, where are you located that yours aren't closing?

We are getting ours back and upgraded. Complain to the home office in Arkansas. I did, (And many others on here) and it worked!

Ours doesn't have fabric anymore. They closed around october because they put up a new supercenter, but they quit having fabric a few months before that. Now they have fat quarters only.

Several of the remodeled stores still carry fabric it is just precut for fun projects ... No ideal for quilters but still fun :)

I am sorry for your loss though ...

Our local store remolded 2 yrs. ago and we still have a fabric department, not as big as before but still there.

They remolded ours too...we still have a fairly good size fabric area but not a big as it use to be. When ever I go there is only one or two customers there...when I go to Joanne's which is right down the street its packed. The local quilting shops also always have more people shopping for fabric than in Walmart. I like how they have fabric to help other shops keep their prices reasonable.
