Please note that Walmart is not returning fabric to all stores. Here is a quote from an article done September 1 after an interview with Walmart Executives. It points out the fact that Walmart will not be putting bolt fabric in all stores - just in those where they think the locals want it.

>>
A lot more than six miles of roadway separates the Seffner Walmart from its companion Walmart in Brandon, Fla. Among the Seffner offerings prominently on display: 5-gallon jugs of "Big John's" pickled sausages, $3 camouflage baseball hats and $8 ladies housedresses. A 3,000-square-foot section of the store sells yarn, craft supplies and fabric by the yard.
Just down the road in Brandon, however, the Walmart Supercenter proudly displays a row of $1,500 HDTVs, hip college clothing, and not a single bolt of fabric.
That stark difference between rural and urbane is exactly what Walmart executives want now from their stores. The world's largest retailer is on a mission to become a neighborhood-style store.

What this means is that all your calls and complaints may make a difference - but I would talk to the manager of the local store, get the name of the regional manager to write to, AND send letters/e-mails to corporate.
