Ofcourse fabric you silly quilters. They have 100 percent cotton fabric, solids that are nicely woven and soft for a $1.50 a yard. Just got it in this morning. I thought I would share cause I know there are some like me who got to buy fabric as cheap as possible.

Wow, that sounds like a good deal. Thanks for sharing.

awesome, our Walmart doesn't have fabric any longer in Indiana

Walmart does have some good fabric :thumbup:

Hate to admit, but I get most of my fabric at walmart. Thankfully, ours is not planning on getting rid of fabric anytime soon. And the quilting fabrics are not supposed to be hit with the price hike. Just the more premium / specialty fabrics.

You really have to watch what you get, but you can really get some great bargains on good fabric at WalMart. I've been going there for years, and if you're really careful you can get good stuff.

I tell you what, the quilting fabric here went up - used to be $2 a yard for the "quilt of the month" fabric, then it went to $2.44 a yard and just this week went up to $2.97... so if your local wm didn't raise the "quilt" fabric count yourself lucky..

Our WM in South Bend, In still has fabric. They were going to get rid of it but changed their minds. I huess they sell alot of it.

Thanks for the info. I am all over the fabric of the month there - very nice for Walmart! At one time not so long ago it was all about price for me - now I am a little more selective.

Just like everywhere, quality varies. Nothing wrong with a good quality fabric, no matter where it was purchased.

Oooo, gotta hit the store now! Hope it's @ my store...this is my kind of deals (affordable)! Thanks for sharing.

I saw some at my walmart too... was it called "top quality fabric"? Thats the name of the one I saw at mine.

and off to Walmart I go!!! :lol:

Unfortuantely, (or fortunately), one of the wally worlds close to me is closing the fabric department. They had all of it marked 50% off this past weekend. I cleaned up! I bought over 50 yrds! I am choosey about my fabric but I found some great material for making market bags and my kids picked out material for pillowcases. I also bought material for kitchen accessories. These types of things don't have to last forever, and won't, so I didn't want to spend a lot on them. Although I have to say that some of what I got felt really nice!

So what did you buy ? We want to see :shock: LOL

I got some too! here in Maine. The girls there told me our fabric department will be closing the next time they do a re-fit (6 months or so.) I don't get a lot there - but at $1.50 a yard - there is always room for more.

If you buy Walmart fabric that's been marked down it's usually a good buy. The stuff that they get in and is originally priced at 1 or 1.50 is usually poly blends and isn't very good quality.

I always look atours, sometimes they have good sales and clearences, and you get it SO cheap!

Thats a great price. I will be going to my local WM in the morning!!

Our WM quit selling fabric for two years and now they have two rows of it but it is like fat qtrs, jelly rolls, etc. prepackaged fabric. ANd notions of course. Not the same. Although their jelly rolls have 80 strips as opposed to the normal 42 like Moda, Fat qtr bundles are more too. SO good prices. I miss buying their solids for a dollar a yard. they came in handy for borders for my charity quilts. NOw about half of their stock is on sale for 25% off. Must not be selling good or just a good sale. LOL

I see you are from Western ky. So am I, so which Wal-mart did you find your bargain in?

Oh that is cool you are from hardin. I'm in Murray, our WM still has fabrics.

I will have to check them out. Haven't had much luck with Wal-mart lately. Hope to find some fabric in the 400 mile yard sale.

I wish our walmarts still had fabric. Zilch-nada. I hate that they cut the crafts dept.

When is the yard sale and when does it begin?

It started today...goes through Saturday and is 400 miles long all along highway 68. Today I went from Draffenville to Aurora. Didn't find too much that I couldn't live without.

Rexie it is nice to know that someone from the QB lives so close to me. Maybe we could meet some time, if you don't want to that's ok. Carrie

I didn't know it was that close. Thank you for the info.

That would be nice. Right now I am running to Paducah a lot to see my BFF that has small cell lung cancer. But will try to do that sometime.

If you hear that your local W-M is going to close its fabric department, call the corporate headquarters and request that they keep their fabric at that specific store. The clerks in the fabric department can tell you where to call and give you the store number.

When our W-M was going to remove the fabric department, we asked all of the members of the local guilds to call. We also asked parents of students at the local schools to call, since most of the students get their fabric at W-M for their sewing projects.

Due to the number of call they received, they decided to keep their fabric department. That was about 3 years ago.

I am so sorry to hear about your BFF. Don't worry about meeting me right now, you just tend to your friend. I do pray and hope that things improve. Carrie

I miss Wm quilt of the month material too. I had trouble keeping up with it and still have about a year's worth of their pattern/fabric!

Do ya'll know if there is a list of stores that still carry fabric?

We did the same thing here. Had our ASG members contact headquarters. They kept fabric in two stores for another year. One closed it out three months ago and my WM clerk/friend told me they just got the notice my store would be closing out in December. @#$%^&**&^%#$ They have already downsized several departments and boy, does it show. Clerks said they have hired several top dogs from Target and are trying to tern it into a Target type store. I shopped Target twice. Neither time did they have the advertised item in the store. The old "we're sold out of that item" bait and switch. On the first day at 9 AM? I don't think so.
Never went back.

wash it at least two times before you sew it....IT WILL SHRINK

I don't know if there is a list. Have you tried their web site?

Somewhere HERE there is a thread where people posted if their Walmarts still had fabric...

:( :( No more fabrics at our WM's here ...

just some odd fat 1/4's last I saw

Hey, I live in Ohio County, KY. I know where Murray is. Where is Hardin, KY?

Did you know where both Wal-marts in Bowling Green still have fabric? :D

Better get it quickly. They are phasing out all fabric. It is too "labor intensive". I live near Houston, and there is only one WalMart left that has fabric, and they will be gone by the end of summer from what we hear.

The bright side is I have not shopped Walmart very much at all since they phased out the fabric. Saved me a lot of money.
