our walmart is putting in a fabric dept. this is the new store and it didnt ever have much. now it has lots of stuff, a cutting table, warm and natural at half of what joanns has it for. really nice flannel, fleece, great fabric. and lots of notions they didnt have before. friday am going to the old wm and see if they are bringing back their fabric. im so excited.

I wish our wm would put their fabric back in. I asked if they were today and the lady said probably not. I'm jealous.

Wow, so happy for you. I am going to check mine for Warm and Natural. JoAnn's has gone up so much on this, even with the coupon it is so expensive.

Good to hear one more WalMart has brought back their fabric. Hope ours is next.

Do you suppose they lost so much business from us, fabric plus whatever else we picked up, they had to rethink the plans to discontinue their fabric department? Whatever the reason, Im glad.

I was thinking that same thing. Some idiot looked at numbers on paper, and said xx amount of sq ft is only bringing in $xx - not realising that those buyers are IN the store, and buying other things.
The day I went and spent $70 on fabric, I also spent almost $50 on other stuff, and that is $120 more than they got from me last year.

Our Wal Mart is slowly getting the new fabric area organized. Some bolts are there, the cutting table is set up, and a few notions have been added. They have lots left to do though, still empty shelves.
