I, and I'm sure many on this forum, appreciate the suggestions, such as the one about Target. One of these might end up being a solution to what is a real dilema for so many of us. It's difficult, or impossible, for people who live in areas where there are a variety of shopping choices, to understand how disappointing Wal-Mart's merchandising decisions can be to small town and rural residents. Even if Target, K-Mart, etc., did sell fabric, it wouldn't affect as many people as Wal-Mart's having fabric and quilting/sewing supplies. Those stores aren't as widespread as Wal-Mart stores, which are located within shopping distance of more Americans than any of the other chains. For example, I live in a rural area, but there are 7 Wal-Marts within an hour driving time, but only one Target, which is about 75 miles from my home. I order most of my fabric from online retailers, but many people my age don't use computers, so that option isn't open to them. Also, there are so many, who, like me, aren't physically able to drive or travel longer distances to shop.
