I have walmart material all over my house in this that and the other thing. I was very upset that they took the material by the yard out of my local store and I told the manager so. The local Joann stores business has increased, so the girls have told me.

Welcome from Ky. I too have lots of wm fabric but I am one of the lucky ones that still has a wm with fabric after the remodeling was finished.

Hi and welcome from western Washington state. I work for our local bus company, and have for 20 years. My brother works here too, and is a bus driver. Our drivers wear these great shirts in the summer that are kind of like a Hawaiian shirt, but it is made out of some fabric our company had designed with things from all over our area. I have been trying to get some of the fabric for years- he just gave me one of his old shirts on Sunday, so now I can start my transit quilt! Sorry for bending your ear- welcome to the best quilting site!

My local Walmart has also removed their bolts of fabric for pre-cut fabric.

I was in the next city (20 miles) and purchased fabric at their Walmart. I commented that ours had changed over and she said "Management said that due to Walmart being a discounted type store, that they couldn't get the fabric makers to cut their prices, and they were having trouble offering fabric at a low cost" She said they were going to remove their bolts too but didn't know when.

Bummers! It's hard to pay 7 or 8 dollars for fabric.

Welcome from Pensacola, FL. We have 5 Wal Marts, and 2 of them are continuing to carry fabric; some of it is really nice! Be kind and consistent in encouraging them to carry it. I believe they are listening!

Hello and welcome from Oklahoma. I am fortunate that our local WM still carries fabric by the yard. Not sure how long they will be, but for now, I am enjoying their fabrics.

Hi from Ohio! Yes I am disappointed also with Walmart along with a lot of the members here.
