I brought hundreds of dollars of fabric from Walmart. I e-mailed them a couple of years ago a number of times and got sewing and quilting friends to do the same to the effect "Please do not discontinue your fabric" after their employees began telling people that it was going to happen. Instead all of the Walmart stores within a hundred miles or more closed out and put in some kind of precut pieces, if anything, except the Walmart store in Pearl,Ms. I drove to Pearl a couple of months ago and went in the Walmart Store prepared to buy several pieces of fabric and guess what! - THE FABRIC DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN CLEARED OUT AND NOTHING BUT PRE CUT- I did not buy any and in the future will not if it can be bought elsewhere. In fact if I can get anything anywhere else I will even if it means ordering. I feel that Walmart came in, ran the small stores out and thinks that we have to support Walmart. True, they use to have most anytyhing that a person would need, but not any more. We took their bait and ran with it. Sorry, but that is the way it is. I would not e-mail WM and ask them to reconsider opening fabric departments and do not know that I would support them if they do. I think they mean that fabric might go in a new built store. I feel that one of the well advertised fabric stores belongs to WM and that that is why they discontinued fabric at WMs.
