    We have a wonderful fabric selection and never lost anything. It's wonderful that yours is back.

    Last time I was in our 1 and only Walmart, there was still the same aisle of fabric, with cutting table, and they were putting up some fancy shelves with what looked to be jewelry chains, links and such. They had had some of this on their other aisle. I really can't say what they are doing, but, at the time, I did not see any other bolts then what was there. I will be going up that way in another 3 weeks or so, and I may stop in to see the progress

    The fabric dept. at our WalMart never left, but I am so happy for you who are getting it back. I always seem to find some treasure in their fabric dept. It's the highlight of my household shopping!

    I hope we see it all over in time - but not here yet. But we are getting a new and bigger Walmart - so I suspect, we won't see it in the old store - maybe building the store to have a big fabric department! How I hope!!!

    Our Newport, AR store never got rid of their fabric and it's better than ever now. Our Wynne, AR store doesn't even have pre cuts that I've seen.

    Most fabrics, even the quilt shop fabrics, are made in China. That doesn't mean anything anymore. Walmart sometimes gets super deals for quality fabric, you just have to keep an eye out for what comes in the store. I'm pleased as punch to be able to go to Walmart and buy premium muslin, canvas, fusible, pellon, and interfacing when I need it 24/7.

    Looks like my Walmart might be doing the same as all pre-cuts severely slashed!
