lqs's have limited space for fabrics- and they may order something like that to try out- see how it goes- but if it takes them a couple years to sell it chances are they are not going to re-stock it-
they are going to put something else that comes along in that space- has nothing to do with the quality of the fabric-
chalkboard cloth is ok for what it is- some of the larger stores (ie: joannes, hancocks, hobby lobby, michaels) tend to keep it in stock- some lqs's keep ordering it because they have a group of people who make placemats for kids with it as a (continuing program) others ordered it once or twice and moved on
