ROFL!

I was in a walmart 4/11/11 and was elated to see the wealth of material they had out. I did notice that some prices were higher, but the fabric I'm saving up to buy ten yards of is still four dollars cheaper than the same cotton pattern material in Joann's fabric. For Baltimore MD. those are just about the only places that have a decent quantity of the quality material I use. I rejoice with you.

YEAH!!!! Thats great news. :)

Sounds like our WalMart in Oak Hill (west of Austin)

I have 3 "local" Walmarts (1 1/2 hrs driving time) One was doing inventory on every bolt (actually measuring every bolt!!!) last time I was there. According to the clerks, the non-quilting junk fabric has not sold at all since last year, although quilting fabric has. I am guessing that this was a part of the same discovery process.

I know I wrote to WM that I could buy groceries in lots of places, but the novelty fabrics I use for my charity quilts only come from WM and are virtually the only reason I go there, although I usually purchase other things on the same run.

One store cut out fabrics. The third went to precuts, then back to bolt fabrics, I am told.

That's terrific that means I don't have to go to Tampa ( unless I'm going there to see Donna) I have a Wal Mart just 10 miles down the road in east Bradenton I hope they will have the material there.WOOT WOOT

That would be very nice. Bring it back. thanks.

My Walmart has some material but it's mainly fat quarters and some small pieces or kits. A town 1 hr away has material but the girl working that area told me that Walmart doesn't want to pay someone to stand around that area waiting for someone to buy material to cut.
The material there is okay, but not of great quality. It's not Moda or Kaufman and you have to be careful. Great buys on flannel though

Can't wait. They had some really nice fabrics and I bought a lot there.

I agree it is true!!! My manager at Walmart told me they are not doing away with anymore because so many people complained. They are cutting back some but she said she is allowed to keep one whole row of calicos/fun fabrics/broadcloth/etc all on the bolt and several other sections but they are getting rid of other parts of the fabric section. It isn't as much as we had but it won't be totally gone. I hate that they no longer sell the $1 a spool thread. I remember when it was 2 for $1. But no more. Now I have to buy the more expensive thread.
