I was shocked when I got to the register. I wish I had more money lol.

The nearest town to me only had fabric at Wal Mart. When it started disappearing at the larger stores there was a loud outcry to our small country store to not discontinue it. They promised that it would stay. A few months later they remodeled and filled most of the store with beer, wine and pop. No fabric. I am weaning myself from Wal Mart. There food is all going generic also - yuk!

When they were originally going to get rid of the fabric at our Wal-mart a couple of years ago, a bunch of us bombarded the Wal-mart website "contact us" with protests and ours still has fabric with a good variety and mostly of fairly good quality. The lady I talked to in the fabric department about the FQs and jelly rolls said they just didn't sell here and made some sort of comment about our folks here aren't too lazy to cut up their own fabric! Which given that the original prices on the jelly rolls was $19.97 that made them more expensive than regular fabric, so of course most people here weren't going to buy them...this is an area where the economy has been pretty hard hit in the past few years...mostly farming and what little industry there is keeps either going belly up or moving to some other country...then when we do get something new they don't pay more than minimum wage.

I am sorry that WalMart feels that removing the fabric from the stores when they remodel is a GOOD idea. I think that there are still are alot of us out there who love fabric... and choose to shop where we can browse through the fabric... The WalMart in one direction still HAS fabric, and the other direction, the fabric is long gone...I'll bet Hancock is celebrating, as we no longer have JoAnns.
