I agree, could be a good thing or a bad thing. Dedicated fabric cutters/helpers at Wal-Mart, would be a good thing (if they don't have "attitude" which some employees at my Jo-Ann's seem to have) but if prices go up, which they almost surely will, that's a bad thing. Currently, fat quarters are $1.99 at Jo-Anns; same fat quarters exactly--and I do mean EXACTLY--are .99 at Wal-Mart. It will be interesting to see if outsourcing by Wal-Mart happens.
