Thanks for the link - I just sent msgs to both corporate and our local store. I wish I knew when the sale was going to start. I doubt they'll listen to my pleas.

You can get a petition started or go right to the manager
and voice your concerns, someone did in our area, because we don't have any sewing/material places within 10 miles, so they ended up keeping the fabric. Good Luck...It can be done. |

Found out just before Christmas that our Walmart will keep their fabric dept but it will be smaller.

The WM near me all closed out their fabric dept. when they remodeled 2-3 yrs ago ... all they've had since are a few flimsy fat 1/4's & precuts. They just have more junky crafts & kids stuff.
Now that the scrapbooking craze is fading, maybe ?? they'll REALIZE that sewers & quilters bought a LOT of fabrics & notions there ... |

It seems there are a lot of us concerned about this- I think we may need to organize an effort to give Wal-mart the message that the public wants the fabric dept. I would think Wal-mart is in the business to make money- our voices should count for something.

Then why are they putting fabric back into several of the stores? They put it back into two of the stores in North Alabama.

They took the fabric out of our wal-mart 2 years ago and replaced it with electronics. We really miss it in our area. The nearest fabric shop is 30mi round trip
