    Save to buy the quilting basics that will cost a lot at other places. Like a bolt of good muslin, a bolt of warm and natural, Pellon fusibles, cotton canvas for ironing board covers, THREAD for craft sewing projects, and quilted cotton fabric to use for fast projects like tote bags. Right before the store starts a remodel, the fabric will be marked %50 off everything on a bolt. It will not be advertised so have many friends be on the look out.

    I have never bought fabric online before, but I will probably have to learn how. Our walmarts are all but just about phrased the fabrics dept out too. Alco used to have a nice fabric department, but they seem to be phrasing out too! Except for some pretty prepackage yardage material. We do have a store in our area that is ran by the Amish, with tons and tons of fabric! I could go bannas there! I went today and dropped some money! We have lovely fabric stores in the area which I will just have to pay abit more there, I am sure it will be worth it. Just nice to have a choice, so online is a choice. Thanks for the websites!

    I buy online all the time now.
    http://quiltinaday.com
    She has a large sale section.
    I buy from many online stores now and have only been buying the 3 dollar a yard sales.
    It is all first quality and all have been good buys, no problems at all.

    I just got some good news about Wal mart. I went to another town today with a regular Wal Mart and guess what i found. They enlarged their fabric department. I hope they keep it because like I said earlier the super stores ,in my town, no longer carry fabric. I got a real cute chicken print to make placemats. I'm excited.

    We here heard that we were keeping ours, then yesterday I talked to the manager in craft area and she said they were told ALL Walmarts will lose their fabrics by next yr. Ours will start thinning out in Jan. I'm really starting to not like Walmart. They took away the layaway, now fabric. Hubby used to get all his fishing gear there. Crappy stuff now. Its really ashame, :x

    When Walmart here marked everything 50% to get rid of it in the fabric dep. Shipments of new fabric were still coming in! New bolts still with plastic were being marked 50% off right out of the box. The older Walmarts that still have the fabric dept will get a lot of fabric that is left in the warehouse. When it's gone, no more will be ordered at all. Cranston had to shut down the mill because WalMart did not renew the contract. This is what I was told by a WalMart buyer.
