Our local wal-mart remodled and out went all things related to sewing....including scissors. I recently called to see if they may have sewing machine needles and no such luck. That is about all I will buy from wal-mart any more since their fabric is not of very good quality. Their fleece is such that it will "pill" badly and I have heard where people won't even use it for pet beds. How sad tho that they are turning into stores that are not shopper friendly. :(
