    In May I emailed our Raynham, MA WalMart and asked about the fabric being brought back and was told it would not be. I figured because there was a JoAnns just down the street. Well today I took a walk around the store hoping to find fabric and lo and behold they have started filling up several aisles with bolts of fabric, sewing machines, quilting gadgets, etc. A clerk was cutting yardage for a customer. You could tell by the empty places that more would be added soon. YAY

    There is just something so much more satisfying about buying fabric off a bolt than buying a folded up precut.

    In May I visited the Walmart store in Honalulo (?? Spelling). They were just setting up a section of craft / quilting fabic by the yard. I was impressed. I purchased 2 packs of charm squares. They weren't cheap ($12 each) but I wanted a souvenier of my visit to this iconic destination. I could have also purchased matching fat quarters.

    Our new W=M put in the precut stuff. Some cute stuff but not a real big selection, and not like being able pick and choose and say how much ya want.

    Just call 1-800-walmart and complain. So many people who shop at my local Wal-Mart complained that they decided not to take it out. Unfortunately, now with the new store remodel they've given so little space to the fabric section that they had to get rid of a lot of it via clearance (of course I scooped on that one). With the new remodel, the fabric section is about 1/4 the size it was before. Guess we'll have to call in and complain again.

    from an earlier post suggestion i emailed walmart to thank them and got a reply back the next day! they did say that they heard us and would be putting notions and other related sewing items in! i can hardly wait. my dh and nephew both work there. asked my nephew where they were putting it cuz he is a customer service manager and he said he didn't know - that wasn't his department! his brother told him and i quote "dude you're a customer service manager - the whole store is your department!" lol
