Yes you need to do just that. That is what our quilting club here in town did. Our local WM closed out their fabric line last spring we really tried everything to get them to keep it but to no avail others in town who did use the dept for reg. sewing and local teachers for classrooms tried to keep it open as well. They were the only source of fabric within a 80-90 mile radius for us and others in small communites around. Now they carry precut yard or so , no fat quarters, very little batting and other sewing or quilting supplies. We emailed and even called headquarters, but got the same answer they just couldn't justify keeping it because of inventory and couldn't pay someone to stay in the dept all the time. There were three ladies that were always in that dept. or close by to help. After the remodel, they have a lot of junk all over the store. They did away with a lot of their inventory, not just fabric, and it looks like a lot of their craft and party stuff that took care of the fabric dept. just isn't selling, as well as a lot of their other things that they brought in. We basically have NO other place to shop in our town except there. We had quite a few good places until WM came in and they all closed. I do like some of their stuff and have to trade there, but have been very dissatisfied about the fabric going, as is everone else. We live so far from any place to really shop living in far West Texas. As I stated nearest place to do much is 80 miles away North and East, and 200 West to El Paso, nothing to the South of us until you get down near San Antonio.Good Luck hope you can keep yours. We all (quilting group) bought them out practically when they were closing out the dept.
