Many Walmarts don't carry them. It's up to the fabric dept manager to order. Many don't want to order anything but the basic stock items. I adore the fabric/craft manager in our local Walmart. She orders as many different notions as possible. She doesn't devote that much space to paints and make your own jewelry items which she says doesn't sell and the sewing notions make more profit for the dept. making her look good too.
