Same here....I have bought lots of fabric at Walmart...especially if it's $1-1.50 yd....and give to my mother to use. As long as it seems good quality and colors I will use ..I get it. I have bought the solid colors at JoAnn's and Hancocks on sale for the same price and their quality was about the same.

My Wal Mart went from a nice fabric section to a tiny one. We were told that because the next fabric store is over 20 miles (actually 25 miles) away they wouldn't change it. It turned out differently. I still buy supplies there if I can find what I want.

Every so often this rumor keeps popping up, I'd say for about 5 years. Every time I go to my Walmart I ask, and they laugh and say not hardly, they keep getting in shipments and are constantly putting some on the shelves. They even did a remodel and I held my breath but fabric never left. In the new Walmarts that open they are not putting in the fabric area. My friend and I check it out every time we hear a new store has gone in. For a major city, fabric stores are getting scarce. Hancocks are all gone, Joann has closed most in the inner city, some left farther out. There are some LQS but I can not afford the prices.

I too like the David Textiles and really feel very lucky .Two WM's here have wonderful fabrics and one carries the QOM by DT with a free pattern. This month is all pink and brown and lots of polka dots and a stripe ..very cute It is called "Cuddle Me" The price is $2.97 a yd
I went the other day and they had already sold a lot off the bolts, They had 2 previous patterns still available.
I once again thank BellaBoo and Piledriver who brought the info about WM QOM to my attention and Piledriver who sent me one of the materials I was missing. How kind was that ?
