Yes, I think we do need to let Walmart know how we feel.

the lady in our Walmart fabric department told me this week that it looked like they got to keep their fabric for another year. Don't know how true it is b/c rumors fly you know.

Was at our wal-mart in central PA today and they had 3 hugh cart fulls of new cotton fabric and didn't know where to put them. But the second Wal-mart in the same town doesn't carry Fabric???

At least you have a Jo-Ann's or a Hancock. On the western slopeof Colorado we don't have that luxury. One of the Wal Marts took out the fabric and the other is tiny now compared to what it used to be. Our Jo-Ann's went out stating the lease on the Mall store was going to raise, and with a promise of a new Jo-Ann's.. Pfffftttttt.... Oh well guess when I go to see the grands in SLC, UT or go to Denver to see the other daughter, I will have to shop Jo-Ann's as well as Hancock's.

Not here! They remodeled a couple of years ago and we still have fabric, plus they're getting more. It's over stocked.

Where are you?

Unfortunately Walmart has closed their fabric departments in 3 of their stores near me. I pitched a fit, but didn't change anything. The Walmart closest to me has only stampbooking stuff. One good thing that came from their closing, I was able to stock up on fabric, batting, etc.
