Out of 7 WM within 1 hour of me, 3 still have nice fabric departments. The one closest to me carries 4 models of sewing machines and a half dozen or so pre-cuts. That's it. This is a newer store, maybe 5-8 years old...used to have a very nice fabric section. We only have one very small lqs in our town, a JoAnne's in the next town-20 minutes away. Hobby Lobby is maybe 45 minutes away. I do a LOT of online shopping for fabric.
