I mostly shop online as well. Have not had any problems until my last order. Bought a Hoffman Batik FQ 20 pack. All were cut wonky and one FQ even had stitches where someone had sewn on the fat quarter. I am really shocked. I've spent a lot of money at this online quilt shop and am really surprised by the sloppiness of this order. I feel sorry for the shop owner if she does not know. She/he will lose a lot of business if this continues.

The trouble all started when poor old Sam Walton died.

Like others on here I found that 1. things I liked were no longer carried by WM 2. the prices have gone up.
I have switched back to the groceries. Oh if we had known way back when. We would have stayed going to the local stores.

I was in our Walmart last week and bought some fabric. I asked about the fabric department; they decided a month ago with all the people complaining about trying to get rid of the fabric department, they are going to keep it! Let's hope it is true! The store is slated to be redesigned - to me it doesn't need it as it was done several years ago - but they are going to keep the fabric department - we'll see how true it is!

I seldom go to walmart anymore. We still have fabric in ours,but the clerks are always testy, probably because we are fussing at them insted of the people up top. I wrote a letter to headquarters telling them how I feel about this move. The mileage to a quilt store is the same as it is to Walmart. The shop is in a very small town, and the prices are very good.

I don't believe they will carry any more notions than my Walmart does now that they have done away with fabrics. They have about 5 packages of needles, few rulers and mats, a few spools of thread and that is it!!! No elastic, no bias tape, no ribbon, no no no....I have been writing to Walmart for over 5 years about the loss of our fabric department and I haven't even gotten a form letter.

Wal-mart doesn't seem to understand that the fabric/craft section in their stores was usually near the center to back and therefore I, and many others, would stop to look- and buy!!!- other items on our way in to get fabric. "Gee, I have to pay for this fabric, so I might as well get the light bulb and milk I need rather than making two more stops on the way home...." Not to mention how much DH spent while he was waiting for me to look at fabrics!

I think we all need to speak up and let Wal-mart know they are not giving us what we want as consumers and that we'll continue to abandon them until they get the message!

So they decide to cut out the very reasons we all shopped Walmart. Really bright people wouldn't you say.

I just sent an email to wal mart suggesting they return fabric dept. Using the article sent earlier today. I mentioned that THEY recognize that when people go in the store for one thing, they usually end up buying other items. If we all send an email..... they MIGHT get the message. I told them that I no longer shop at wal mart.
