I was in my local Walmart yesterday, I could tell that they were rearranging shelves, etc. A clerk told me the fabric should be back in sometime this week. I also noticed the Brother sewing machines were marked down for clearance, but not the Singer. I wonder if they are going to stop carrying Brother? The low end Brothers that they carry are actually very good machines.

I wonder how widespread it is going to be. I did write Walmart about it about six months ago, but I don't think I can take any credit for its return. The Walmart in Independence near Independence Center never lost its fabric dept. They just down sized a bit and could not order fabric but got whatever the company wanted to send them. I just think it is important for many people who can't go all over searching for fabric. Glad to see Walmart is attempting to serve the community.

...Now if we could just get them to sell us fabric that isn't made in Pakistan or China.

The important question is: did you buy any of the clearance fabric?

Our Wal Mart said by the end of June, the fabric dept would be back. I was there last week and no sign of changes, but alot can happen in a week. I will be there again later this week...heres hoping.

We are woman hear us roar!!!!!!

I did buy some clearance fabric to finish a quilt top, but not enough for my stash. That is why I went back to that dept to purchase some more and that is when I saw the new cutting table and the bolts of fabric. The precut clearance fabric was priced $2.00 for 2 yards. I was foolish not to stock up. Most of it was gone when I went back. Drats!

So far our fabric department has not returned. Maybe it will soon.

Watch for the clearance! It goes fast. (This is experience talking.)

great news, i hope all the other walmarts follow with returning their fabric.....
