I was told the full fabric department was coming back.Was there yesterday and all the pre cuts were on sale ,they are getting ready to make room for the new department,,,it will be so nice to be able to get a yard of wonder under or whatever again,and their newer fabrics are a better quality and there is a bigger variety,,,WOOHOO!!

we never lost our fabric department but the new stuff coming in is a higher quality then they carried a few years back.

you're gonna be very happy with the new changes.

Our Walmart fabric dept. never did close and I am thankful! It could stand a bit of improvement though. I am glad for those with stores that are bringing 'new and improved' fabric departments back!

I hope we get ours back.

I was in a Wal-Mart store in far North dallas or maybe Plano and they had fabric shape cut rulers were also on sale for $13. Some of the fabric was standard Wal-Mart quality but some of it was nicer. Haven't been to my own Wal-Mart here in Lewisville in a couple of weeks but will have to check it out.

Last week I went to mine and it had a cutting table
a couple days later all the prepackaged stuff was in the isle

then this week
Bolts and bolts of fabric
and interfacings *LOL* bolts of that too
one guy was standing at the cutting table putting price tags on
and I really thought we would get left out.....
Going on Sunday to see if it is finished.........Rita

We never lost ours but I am glad they are bringing back to the stores that did.

Our fabric department never closed and they always kept a pretty good inventory. We get the bonus of they're finally turning our store into a Super Walmart.

That is great news!! Walmart does have some very pretty fabric..

We never lost ours but we are getiing more fabric in. The only problem is when they get in a line of fabric (like the QOM) it is scattered all over the place. The fabric is so mixed up it takes forever to go through everything. They have a new person running that department and she told me she doesn't care if it's in order or not. I should be lucky it's here. :thumbdown:

There is not a single thread of fabric in mine. In fact they did have a few battings but now thats even gone!!

I have heard the same rumor about our "local" Walmart from the one I go to for fab which is 23 miles away...I am happy!!!! Hope it happens soon!!!

Never lost ours, but condensed it to an aisle. I have not been to Walmart in about a mth and a half so don't know what is going to happen
