We haven't lost our fabric dept but in the remodel of the store, they have cut back on the space and the arrangement of the dept. I should thank them for that as it is saving me a bundle! Rarely did I leave that store without some piece of fabric but the last 3 times I've been there I haven't purchased an inch!! I see few people browsing the dept since the remodel and none buying. The cutting table it less than 1/2 the space it used to be and there is nobody in the dept. The last time I got fabric there I rang the bell at least 3 times before a girl hurried over--from the paint dept!! The girls who used to work there and knew fabrics aren't anywhere in sight. They have reduced their thread inventory to a very small rack. Can tell that whoever redesigned the store hasn't a clue about marketing fabric and sewing items. Right next to the squished fabric dept are wide aisles for crafts and party items but no shoppers there either. And besides all that--they've raised their prices, too!!!!
