I really think it depends on the individual Walmarts...the one here in my town is first-rate AWFUL...they just got a fabric dept., no one to help you with anything, etc. There's another Walmart 4 miles from here, people there couldn't be more helpful and friendly...however, no fabric dept. as yet. The third Walmart is about 10 miles from me...great service, great fabric dept....to me, it is worth going the 10 miles...Naomi :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
