    I just came from my local WalMart in Everett, Washington. Was shocked to be told they are going to faze out all Fabric by March! and go to pre packaged YUK!! And she said All Our Walmarts. What happened I remember a post sometime ago about the Bigwigs of Wally World claiming they were Not going to Do this TO US!!! :evil: :twisted: BigWigs that is!!!!

    Our local Wal-Mart phased out fabric over a year ago. I couldn't believe it.... but it happened. We do not have any pre-packaged fabric.... and a very small section of sewing notions. ;-(

    Fabric was the only reason I went to Walmart. Now that they don't have it I don't have any reason to shop there.

    We've got a few pre cuts - charms, jelly rolls, FQ's and some 1-2yrd pieces and bundles with a 2-4 1yrd coordinating pieces - nothing on bolts...notions are very slim pickings, and prices of fabric are too high. I have bought a few things since they phased out our fabric dept...I check every time I go in, and occasionally I see something that I just *need* to buy. It's pretty rare though.

    the one I worked at got rid of there when they remodeled about 5 or 6 years ago. then everyone had to go to Orlando or Kiss. Everyone was upset,to many people sewed. I worked there for almost 12 years.
