Just thought I would let everyone know while I was at Walmart I noticed a BIG table with alot of bolts on clearance. When I asked the associate if they were getting a new line I was told no. They are cutting the dept down to just cotton basics and sewing supplies. Basically going from 2 1/2 aisles down to one in my local stores. Over the last 2 weeks they have marked down most patterned fabrics to 1.50 to 3.00 per yard. This is company wide. If your Walmart has fabric and you haven't shopped there lately you might want to check it out. They are also still getting new fabrics in until the warehouse is empty and they are coming in at the clearance pricing.

Thank you.

Another one bites the dust. I will certainly miss them as most of my quilting these days is for Linus. I can't afford to spend $14 a yard on fabric that I will be giving away after putting several hours of my time into constructing a quilt. I can only hope they change their minds.

Hmmm...ours just brought back fabric dept...small, but adequate, about a yr ago....have not been at store for almost a month...will have to go and see what's happening...

I was just in the one in Lapeer last week. They have only ever had one aisle of fabric, and just had a few bolts on sale so maybe it's just some stores? I'll have to stop tomorrow & check again.

My Walmart took out fabric several years ago and never brought back even a single bolt or package of batting.

Well, a short time ago we complained that Wal-mart took out the sewing center, then we wrote, called and sent e-mails to have it brought back in. I do shop the Wal-mart fabric department and most of the time I am the only one there and have to look up a clerk to cut for me. From the ridiculous to the sublime and back again. If we don't support them we loose them.

When they took the fabric out of the one near me, then brought it back, they didn't come back in with the same quality fabric. I still drop by there when I am in the store, but have yet to see anything I would buy. There is never a clerk, or customer for that matter anywhere to be seen. I have heard they are still doing a fair amount of fabric business in some of their stores, but not in mine. Maybe there are more crafters in some areas than others.

I shop the basics at Walmart, muslin, fusibles, interfacing, Pellon, Warm and Natural batting by the yard, canvas, ticking,.... I any of this is on clearance I'll be buying bolts of it.

I went there yesterday and didn't have time to really shop (nor money). Going back today! Saw few yards way down underneath for a $1.50.
