One WalMart about 20 miles from me has a full fabric line. It has all the quilt of the month fabric, all the Pellon products and Warm and Natural batting on the bolt. I buy 3 or more yards of every new David Textile fabric I find there. I noticed that there was pre packaged panels to make a stuff 18" doll, doll clothes, and accessories for girl and doll. They were very cute! There were some fabric books packages too. Also pre packaged fabric to make pillowcases. Any Walmart store can order these from the warehouse. It's up to the fabric dept manager. Walmarts that have no cutting table can't order bolts but can order any of the pre packaged fabrics. Fat quarters, jelly rolls, fat eights, charm packs and now Walmart has pre packaged 1 yard cuts of decent looking fabric of good quality. i was talking to the fabric dept manager there and she said many fabric managers order the fabric cuts that they know will not sell. This way they can justify not ordering it. Most do not like fabric taking up room on the limited shelf space. This fabric dept manager is a quilter and she orders what she knows quilters will want.
