My guess is that the decisions about the fabric dept are being made by people who know zilch about fabrics and sewing. In the recent remodel they've taken out the nice thread display and it's down to a very small amount--the basics. Somebody doesn't understand about matching threads to fabrics. This is in a town that anyone needing a color not in that small amount would need to drive 60-70 miles for a spool of thread to match some of their fabrics! Duh....
