I too just came from Wall Mart and all of them here in the Tucson have stopped selling material and batting but one. They too are going to phase it all out and we do have quilting stores, but they charge an arm and a let for this stuff and your first born to boot. I know they things that are sold at the fabric quilt stores is better, but when you are just learning and want to practice on things, I sure don't want to spend 9 or 10 dollars a yard for this stuff. Today and bought the rest of the ream of the soft and natural batting for 2.74 a yard and paid about 12 dollars for the balance and I bought one piece of 36X36 craft size for 5.00 at the quilting store.
Anyway, I just had to put my two cents in and wish Wall Mart would not stop selling this stuff!!!!
