Well, this past Wednesday, I needed milk and bread and decided to stop in at Wal Mart just for the heck of it and see what was in the fabric dept. Some new fabric had come in in lovely colors--my favorite pieces were two in a soft salmon color. I also got a yard of each of two pieces that I already had some of because they were marked down. I told the lady cutting the fabric that I was glad they were still open. she said that they had been due to close a month ago but because of all the complaints they were not going to. I told her that if they close the fabric dept I would go elsewhere. I said I can get my groceries anywhere but if they close the fabric dept that I wouldn't need to come to WM. She said lots of people have said the same thing only in stronger terms. Target and KMart here both have grocery stores within their store, so if I can't buy fabric, why support WM with my business? I hope it got back to the store manager. I love to sew and can't always afford the top fabric designers like Moda and Benatrex.
