I am old enough to remember buying fabric at Kmart! I have not heard about them "returning to their roots". It would be good to have another place for crafts and fabrics.I'll question K Mart. I have received alot of catalogues and web sites offering fabrics but not certain of the quality so am apprehensive about buying til a friend told me to purchase "charm packs" of fabrics of interest. That works well for me and it's inexpensive too.
