The WalMart in Lowell, MA does not have fabric by the yard and very limited precut fabric. The WalMart in Hudson, NH has some precut fabric but no fabric by the yard, however, they did just get in some satin and sheer material for $1 or $1.50/yd. It didn't look like they were setting up for material by the yard though. The only one in the area is quite a distance from me, especially since we moved from NH to MA. Oh well. Thanks for updating though - I do know the WalMart in Yankton, SD never did lose their fabric dept. - got that information from my SIL.
