Some Walmarts have a fabric section and I used to find some nice fabrics there. It's been awhile since I bought some there and when I went there recently was surprised at how the prices went up. They seem to be pricier than JoAnn fabrics!! Has anyone else noticed the price hike in Walmart fabrics???

yes i have noticed prices are up, but i also noticed some nicer quality fabrics too and they are still cheaper than quilt stores, so i can find a baragain when i need one.

It has gone up at our Walmart also. Prices range from $4.45 to $5.45. I did find some very nice 4th of July fabrics for $2.96 and it feels great, soft and silky.

I got some cow print fabric there to make some curtains for my kitchen. It was $4.96 a yard but very nice quality and a good weighty feel to it.

I am so loving that they are now bringing back good quality fabric to Walmart.

Mine still sells fabric too. Not only are they selling better quality fabric, but it's coming in coordinated groups!!

Our WM prices have gone up too but they we also getting QOM's at $2.96/yd. That is very nice fabric.

I found some fabrics for $2/yard at the Freehold, NJ Walmart. Some were on sale from $4+, others $2 was the original price. Haven't seen those prices in the Myrtle Beach, SC, store lately, so was real pleased to see them in the Freehold store.

I'm not complaining!

walmart.com has precuts of yardage... and GOOD prices.

what are QOM's

I just tried Walmart.com and came up empty - I hope this is a temporary situation!!

I'm sorry! It means quilt of the month.

I show it still available....

u can have it shipped to ur local store for FREE!

I look for the David Textile brand and they run under $3. I have not seen anything for that price at Joann's here and definitely not that quality.

Yep, saw about a 15% or so hike. Still cheaper than JoAnns here.

I called the 1-800 walmart and thanked them for keeping the fabric and having such a good selection. am please with the change. you can buy 100-5x5 block for 10.97 that is less than a nickel a piece. Love It!!

Thank you for that link. I originally typed in 'Walmart.com' and went to the search for pre-cut fabrics. That showed nothing, but your link brought me to all sorts of goodies!! Thank you!!

Recently DH and I were driving back from a visit in Oklahoma, and passed through Texas along the way. We stopped at a Wal-Mart (I think it was Amarillo) for something and I noticed their large fabric selection. I was amazed. I wish my local Wal-Mart, which is within walking distance, would stock fabric. :roll:

I will buy David's Textile fabric anytime I see it. It's the best fabric bargain anywhere. I love the feel of it. The rep comes to the Walmart closest to me that has fabric and the fabric dept manager orders the new lines. She said the rep came when the store was being built and she ordered some fabric for the dept and she has been doing it ever since. A few of the Walmarts are in the David's Textile reps areas so they are the ones that have the Quilt of the Month fabric from David's Textiles.

I was in Walmart YESTERDAY buying paint for my new quilting shed and I mentioned to the guy mixing the paint what it was for. He said that Walmart was putting fabric back in all the stores they had removed them from. If that's true, all our emails and gripes evidently worked! It will be great to have a bigger selection. The one in Sherman, TX, had gotten down to a few fat quarters and notions.
