    Well I really hope our Walmart brings it back. I have 2 Super Walmarts in driving distance, but neither even has the precuts. I would be shocked if they bring it back here.

    just my opinion, that packaged stuff is JUNK

    I wouldnt want it given to me in any form.

    they kept our fabric yardage dept after the reset, they put in some of that junk, as soon as the store setters left, the dept heads.....in their wisdom, moved it completely out of the dept, putting it outside marked down under tents as a sidewalk sale and I still wouldnt buy it

    They are building on to our WalMart so that they can make it into a Super WalMart. I hope they bring the fabric dept. back. They ran all the fabric stores out of business because their prices were lower, then they closed the fabric dept.

    I just went to Walmart in Danville Va. today and the store was all being redone. They got rid of their fabric dept years ago. Today I saw bolts and bolts of new fabric waiting to be put on shelves! YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe someone does listen to quilters.

    Yes it is true, I just went to my stitchery group today and they told me that the new WalMart in Corneius Oregon, is going to have a fabric and yarn department. One of the members granddaughters is going to be the manager of it. She managed a fabric store in the same town till the store closed about 5 years ago. Now we shall wait to see what quality of fabric it will be. Jan

    Goody, I will be checking out my local W-M. Maybe I should ask the manager every time I go, too.

    Our fabric dept. Never went away. A few years ago the mgr. Told me that our walmart sells more fabric than any other store in the chain.

    Last week there was a big empty spot where the fabric dept. used to be. This week there is a new fabric dept, in another area of the store. It is larger and has more bolts, ribbon, and craft items. I was so surprised to see it back!!

    I was told by a lady that worked in the fabric dept. of Walmart for 15 years that they were putting fabric back into over 170 of their stores and that they admitted they had made a mistake by taking it out. Maybe my email to them helped a little too.
