I talked to our local manager last week after I fired off an email to the company. He told me that the fabric/celebration thing is in a test phase only and that the reactions of the customers and related sales will determine if it flies or falls. He also told me that since they eliminated most of the fabric in a couple stores in this area the fabric sales at our store have gone astronomically higher. Off the record, he says he thinks it's a big mistake, but he doesn't make the decisions.
