    As someone else mentioned, be careful what you wish for. We had several scrapbook stores spring up and then Wal-Mart got into the mix. Now all the other stores are gone and the selection at Wal-Mart is miniscule. I would be afraid that they will drive all LQS out of business. Just my concern and I want the small guys to succeed because of variety, quality, service, etc. Several WM fabric "cutters" haven't got much of a clue. I am sure there are others who do, but the difference is amazing when you can go into a LQS and they will stack up fabrics and help you decide on colors, etc. Also their enthusiasm is just plain contagious.

    Our Wal-Mart (Normandy) in Jacksonville, FL: is moving their Fabric Department all around to improve it and adding even more materials by the end of June. Yeah!! Love it...I bought Singer Serger for $207 and it works great.

    If you're looking for an occasional piece of fabric, Walmart may have what you want. My experience is, though, there are never enough coordinated pieces to make an entire project. I do buy flannel for baby blankets at Walmart and Hobby Lobby. Selection is great.
