She said we absolutely weren't and had been getting tons of fabric in lately AND that other stores are going to be BRINGING BACK their fabric departments.
So take that for what it's worth. I know there are a lot of opinions on this topic but for those who love to shop at Wal-Mart, you can keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best!
we had a fire in the christ dept before christmas (crazy guy) in our WM and I heard a rumor that when they re-do that dept they are putting fabric back in, may be pre-packaged but they would be good too???
Please be very careful with the pre-packaged fabrics. My friend bought several at the new WM about 30 miles away. It was so thin you can see details of people and things all the way through it. She would not even put it in her quilts. Like most of you, when we had fabrics, we waited in lines to get fabrics cut (after someone would go and round up a clerk). Poor things were always working several departments so did the best they could to help us. Our local Joann's fabrics are about $2 more (at least) per yard for the same fabrics at WM. Joann's was sure glad to see WM drop the fabrics.
We can always hope...
