A friend just called, her niece who is a manager at the new super Wal-mart called to say they have all that prepackage fabric 25% off.

Thats NOT the real news.they are having the sale to make room to REOPEN a NEW cut yardage dept. YES they are bring back fabric to the NEW SUPER WALMART!!

They heard our voices. THIS IS NOT a spam this is true true true. They had a meeting to annoucncement to the employees!!!!

What a wonderful day in the neighborhood


:thumbup: :lol: :thumbup: :lol: :thumbup: :XD:

YEA!

Oh I hope it'll be true at my Walmart too.
(BTW I used to live in Sheff. Lake on Belle Dr. but it was 100 yrs ago, DDs went to Tennyson school..... Small world)

I looked at the package fabric at Walmart and it wasn't half bad.

Like all things purchased at all stores - you have to watch what you're buying.

Very Cool

Thanks for the information! I'll have to check and see if our Walmart has fabric. I'm not sure-hmmmmm another reason to go shopping!

yippee! there is a super walmart 10 minutes away - dh works there so we get a discount!!!! of course it will probably be awhile before it gets to all the super walmarts! but they heard us. personally i did not care for the precuts they had. very limited in colors and patterns.

I can only hope they do the same here - we have two super stores and they dont even have the pre-packaged stuff - or if they do its not much. I can only hope lol

We never lost our fabric, but it has been expanded. Lots of pretty prints. The quality is hit ot miss, but it's another option available. We have never had the precuts.

You are soooo lucky!! I really hope that happens to my store. The prepackaged fabric section is such a kick in the teeth here...
I'm so happy for you though! It does give us hope!!

will wait to see. Our Super WM does not even have prepackaged fab.

i hope they keep the dept. at my walmart :P

I was in the local Walmart today and there it was, a big space with a cutting table, fabric bolt stands and a notion wall! The fabric hadn't came in yet but it is a big fabric dept where the stationary/office supply dept use to be. I saw a big thread cabinet, McCalls and Simplicity pattern cabinet and a super long notion wall with a big fabric wall on the opposite side. I'm so glad I have a place to go buy the basics. Did you know Walmart will honor JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby coupons? The store clerk said they would. I never thought to ask!

The Walmart near me never took their fabrics out but they moved it 3 different times and now it's only about 1/2 the size it used to be and they raised the prices on all the fabrics. They did away with alot of their craft supply items. They did clearance alot of fabrics out for $1 and $2 a yard. crafty_linda_b

I'll be looking out for the fabric to come to our side of town!

I've heard they are bringing it back. We didn't loose ours.

I went to Tennyson too and I am a graduate of Brookside class of 1969

Same here.

Congrats! Hope ours comes back too!

Are you serious? Walmart accepts Joann and Hobby lobby coupons? How about Michael's?? I'll go ask!!!!

I am a happy camper today.Went to one of our Walmarts and happen to see the store manager.I stopped him and asked if this store would get the fabric back....He said yes,remodel will be in august and soon after they should have it set up. :-D :-D
For any Quilters in SW Oklahoma ,this is the Walmart on Quannah Parker Trailways and 67th.
I don't know about the other on on Sheridan.

What I think is so crazy ,they just remodeled 2 years ago,to take the fabric out. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Woohoo!!

Is that the WALMART in Avon or Lorain? I usually do NOT shop at "The Walmarts" but loved the ol' Elyria fabric dept. Either one will be some good competition (I hope) for JoAnn's. YIPPEE!

Its the new one in LOrain on 58

I had heard bringing back fabric is dependent upon the viability of the electronics department. Unfortunately our small town electronics department is thriving ... so for one NE Oklahoma Wal-Mart... no fabric return

I so hope they bring it back to the Guthrie Oklahoma store... it's about 18 miles to Hancocks...

Yes, I just posted earlier that our Walmart in my area has started getting them in. I can't wait until they all arrive.

COOL Have fun shopping I even know where your WM is I just love new stops while traveling

We never lost our fabric department, but the local store is remodelling and that seems to be when fabric and craft supplies disappear. So far, it looks like they might be expanding! Yeah!

Last week I was told by an WM assoc in a TX store, that there was a meeting in Bentonville, AR and WM acknowledged it was a mistake to take the fabric depts out of the stores...Well that is a first!!! Yes most stores were remodeled to take out the fabrics and to make room for party and scrapbooking. Don't think those products have taken over as well as Bentonville predicted they would.
Just hope they bring back the great line of Cranston fabrics. Looking forward to it!!!!!
Thanks for the heads up!

We were told at the Home Office Shareholders meeting two weeks that if your store has fabric they will NOT lose it. They also told us that full bolt fabric would return to 700 stores who lost their fabric by September this year. Yippee!

Wonderful news for you, Happy Dance!!!

I keep hearing that all stores will open their fabric depts. for bolts but our stores in the area still just have th precuts. Hope its nationwide.

our walmart just opened a super center and we never lost our fabric department

The downside is that I live in a small town and about 2 hours away from a quilt store. When Walmart closed out fabric a quilt store opened up. We are having a wonderful time for miles around going to our local quilt shop. Walmart will kill this shop. It killed the ones when they had fabric. They will not carry all the needs of a quilter. They will not have classes. Sorry I am not excited for my small town.

Does this include the ones in Michigan?

I hope that announcement comes to some of the stores in Canada too!!!!

our pre-cut fabric has not been restocked so I think that is a good sign

Does this only apply to Super Walmarts?

I don't want to get my hopes up if it does.

This past weekend my husband had to go get his glasses fixed and we went to a super Walmart were he got the glasses that years ago had taken out the fabric. It is nice to see it back but it is all precuts now. I really didn't care for the fabric they had so I didn't buy any. I will stick to my local Walmart were I can get things cut with lots of choice of fabric.
