Like some of the others here, I miss the "old" WalMart fabric dept. I was told that when Mrs. Walton passed away, the younger generation changed the fabric stock and this is what we now have. I bought a lot of their fabric when the dept was larger and found it to be acceptable. While it wasn't heirloom, it fit my needs and has held up well for the use we have. There was always at least one employee servicing the dept and she was busy. I first began shopping the remnant bin and that's pretty sparse now--tells me they aren't selling much. They need to bring back the blenders. Rather than discontinuing the dept, they need to consider what they have in it that prompts purchases.
