I am sorry you lost your fabric department.[/quote]
the year we lost our walmart fabric came right after they closed our Hancock fabrics and Hobby lobby cut their fabric dept in half and kept mostly fleece and home decor stuff.....and this is a large rural community of Mennonites, home schoolers, 4-H groups, scout groups, you name it, these people SEW!
we also lost both quilt shops and the last remaining fabric store within the same time period, but they closed due to owners leaving town/retiring!
