I just returned from San Antonio, Tx and they never got rid of their fabric in the first place. Does anyone have anymore info on this?
That was me jshorty. The other comments were right on the mark. They will replace fabric when the store is up for remodeling. Mine just remodeled but we never lost our fabric. They did move it from one end to the other. Now it's in line with groceries, pet food and candy. It's not set up like a department. Just row after row. They took out the big, old two sided cutting table which was usually piled high with fabric to restock and odd boxes. Now they have a one side cutting table about 4' x 5'. Don't remember seeing the pattern drawers either. Think they designed it after the Hobby Lobby which is about a mile away. It's about 1/3 the size it used to be and there isn't a clerk on duty there. You have to ring for help and God knows who you will get. Most of them don't know more than how to squeeze scissors. And if you get a man, joke,joke,joke. He can't even FIND the scissors.
