Ladies, I was told Wal Mart brought fabric back because of a lawsuit by a bunch of ladies, they had sporting department and there fore needed material/crafts department. We have always had a good fabric department here in NC FL on W. Coast. But do not be afraid to e-mail/write district and national offices and complain about lack of material and why should ladies be left out with all the sporting goods for the men. If enough people bitch, well the squeeky wheel gets the grease.
