we never lost our fabric dept per se. It was downsized quite a bit. We have always had our cutting table. Last time I visited looked like they had expanded the aisle. I asked the woman on duty if they would be bringing fabrics back. She said they are suppose to either the end of the year or beginning of next. I went back in the store a week ago. They had a shelf in the middle of the aisle with some fabric. Looked to be old stuff and nothing I would use for quilting. Guess I will just wait for a few months and check back again
|
yes, but sadly it is a tiny spot with really terrible fabric. Even my 20yo son held it up and said " geez mom you can see through BOTH layers of this one"!! SAD...
|
But it is good when you need thread or something basic. I really don't purchase alot of fabric but they are there when in a hurry and everything else is closed!
|
ROFL ROFL ROFL....
just last evening... I was walking in (in my office clothes, after work...NO QUILT POOP on me!!!) to pick up Rx. The greeter was very cheerful & said "Do you sew a lot?" I said "How can you tell?" She said we have our fabric back & gave me the flyer. Even tho it was a quick trip in, I was due at the mechanic's, I went & looked. ROFL |

They are just told what is going to show up. Their fabric is very loose weave, made in China, and not pretty at all. So depressing that a big company like that with such a BIG clientele (US), does not get it. I am giving up on them and let them quit selling fabric if they are going to sell junk. :(
At times in the past WM had decent fabric that was great for home dec items, gift bags, crafting, etc. But what they have HERE in our local WM now is not even worthy of that! |
they are tall me ours in Parsons KS will NOT be getting it back. hope the change they minds.
|
I was so thrilled when I found out Wally had their fabric back in one of the Wally's here. Material is ok, haven't really gone into buy some yet.. Then Jo-Ann's is reopening here in November !wooohooo !!
|
Walmart heard our cry and listened!
|
Ours has so much fabric they don't know where to put it all. Hooray!
|
I just bought 8 yards at Wal-Mart yesterday. The lady cutting it screwed up and when I got to the checkout that's when I found out. They tried to fix it and did very nicely.
They gave me 8 yds. of fabric ($29) and a $10 gift card. So my eight yards cost me $19. WHHHHHHAAAAAAA HOOOOOOO |
None in our area yet.
|
Our WM is supposed to get it's fabric department back when they do the remodel....IN TWO YEARS!! BOO..HISS
|
our store brought it back but there are only about 10 bolts of nasty looking fabric and it is a silky fabric !! woopy
|
None at my WM.
|
Jacigltznok said it best, WM is after $$$. I`m going to give them a chance. They brought it back after many complaints, but only for about 2 weeks, now it`s gone again. They put their customers out a lot when they remodeled this store to make it a Super WM. and now tell us we have to put up with out any straight aisles, looking for ever for every thing, and now tell us it`s just a small super WM with no consideration for quilters. I won`t go back now, I have lots of time to wait it out, as when I did go there, there were very few customers in the store.
|
Our has what looks like leftover material that's been stored somewhere. Prices are higher. Waiting for new stock to come in.
|
an ad in the Austin, TX newspaper last Sunday said fabric was coming back to the stores...haven't checked it out though.
|
The one I usually go to have a limited amount of fabric, not much of anything that I would buy. A real shame, because they used to have a nice fabric dept. I was in a different one Monday, because I had to go get car tags, and they had more material, but it took forever for someone to come over and help the person who was waiting for service. I looked over the material, but didn't see anything I wanted to buy. I bought bobbins, lol. Too bad all those bobbins I got with my estate sale purchase don't work for my machine.
|
Checked out our Walmarts today. One has lots of fabric and nice quality stuff reasonably priced, the other has none.........yet. The fabric cutter at the one where the fabric was says they were told all Walmarts will have fabric back eventually. I was really surprised at the nice quality and prices from $2.97 to $5.99 per yd. Had some really beautiful fall bolts!
|
still no walmart here----but , (it is rumored )they did buy land and an empty store----no Joannes either but really nice LQS in towns to the north, east and west
|
i just wrote walmarts a letter , complaining about [why can't we get it back.everyone should TELL IT LIKE IT IS.then maybe they will listen 2 us. lucy-----from tn.

I've called or gone to the three closest ones to me and nothing!
|
Batesville AR store has it back. Not much selection yet, but I was told more will be coming.
|
My Walmart has gotten a little bit in, but it's so unorganized. the choices are poor and the quality is really shabby! I was disappointed when I saw what they did! :(
So I am going to JoAnn's tonight!! :) |
All the Walmarts around me had taken fabric out and all that I have been to have put it back in. Everytime I go to Walmart they seem to be adding more and more. Just hope they keep getting better and better.
I am in Iowa |
It is back in Council Bluffs, Iowa!! Doing the happy dance!
|
i found a gorgous fabric for stack and whack at my walmart yesterday for 4.00 a yard.. yum.
|
One kinda near me has their's back. Another one real near me doesn't have any and say the won't.
|
Unfortunately, neither of the 2 Wal-Marts near me have fabric back, just a few precuts in one and nothing in the other. I wish they would get it back though.

No fabric in the super walmart in Traverse City. I have to wait until I get back the Mission Texas to buy fabric.
|
No, I went yesterday and they didn't have it yet but didn't say
when they would get it. We had another ad in the paper today that it was coming back. |
I bought fabric in Walmart today in Tucson and asked if others would have it soon. I was told that 2,000 more stores were getting back in soon. She had just gotten the email. 9-21-2011
|
My Wal-Mart has always had fabric and there're getting more in, but it is so cheap, you can count the threads. The old stuff they still have is better fabric. I would be careful to look for flaws. they don't have color coronate, so if you a pice there you well have else ware to go to find something to coronate with it.
