The manager in my local WM said that the dept manager is in charge of ordering fabrics..this way they can see what the local people want. My store has a lot of quality fabrics, as this is what they are selling..Many of the same fabrics are in Joannes and the prices are much lower. I realize that not all fabrics are LQS quality, but I personally can not afford the LQS. I will at least be avble to continue quilting at Walmart prices!
