I really think WalMart discoverd that there was still a demographic out there who buys fabric and enjoys saving money to. I think the fabric depts. will come into each of the WalMarts as they do updating and remodels on stores. That is how it happend here. I am proud to say since sending email that there was never anyone around the craft/fabric dept. to cut the fabric, you can always find someone close by now. Just one or two ailse away from the cutting area. You will enjoy the new dept. when it gets there.
