Our local Wal-Mart has a medium sized material/sewing department and two ladies that work there, (one at a time) full time. We only have one local quilt shop and I cannot afford their material. WM has poor so-so good and great material. You have to check each bolt, but I have clothes made from wm material and they are still around after a lot of years. Just the other day found they had a selection of upholsterery material now. But because we are rather in the cuntry that makes a difference. One WM in Oxford(The Villages)FL that didn't have any material now has material. We were told locally that a lawsuit made WM bring back material and crafts as they have auto and sporting goods.
