Our walmarts do not have fabric. I wish they would bring it back. I spent a lot of money at walmart when they had fabric. I dont' even visit their craft area anymore.

Here's what my Wal-Mart looks like tonight. Pretty good.

I was encouraged by the news of the return of fabric at Walmart only to be let down! The Walmart in MA a few miles away has no fabric-looked at me like I was nuts for looking and asking! The one in my town has a couple of dozen fabrics folded around a cardboard square. I would have to but the entire stock to make a baby blanket! And I was told they had yarn-looks like leftovers from a fire sale-no red, navy etc just a few of unpopular colors. Not to be discouraged, I went to Michael's this morning for pink, baby yarn. O silly me, the yarn dept. looks like it had been attacked ! I left there with nothing too. Very discouraging! Since Walmart has put all the LQS and fabric stores out of business, we really have nothing.

JOIN the CROWD the same here where I live!! They came in and everyone thought it was great, well winthin 5 yrs or less all of the smaller owned stores were gone, then they choose to take out so many things that we all need. WE have to travel 85 miles 1 way now to get so many things that we always had here in town.

My walmart never lost their bolted fabrics! But I can see that they are getting new stuff in all the time. The prices vary from store to store, depending if there is any competition. You do have to watch what you get as there are some very low quality fabrics, FQ's mostly. But you will find that everywhere. I am seeing batiks and collections....some are great quality for $5, some are less quality....and I always check the clearance tables.....I can get great buys for $2-3/yd. If I had to depend on LQS for fabrics to quilt, I would never be able to afford to make any!
