Walmart made a corp decision to get rid of their fabric dept..I sure the ones made the decision to close their fabric dept never sat in front of a sewing machine or don't share the wonderful memories some of us share with our moms sewing for us. I worked for Corp America for 15yrs. The stress was horrible causing me to have constant migraines headaches. I would stop by Walmart on my way home and had to buy a piece of fabric. The ladies in the fabric dept and I became very good friends. They would tell me when new fabric was coming. If my husband was with me I would whisper "I can't buy it right now" so they would cut it and hide it under they table until so I could come back later to buy it. When I was stressed sometimes I would go the fabric dept a night to just talk to some of the ladies. They were so nice to me. They watched my children grow up. I miss that now when I go there. They closed our fabric dept about 4yrs ago. Now I find myself going to Kroger and Target more now.
