Talked to the cloth lady at Wal-mart this week and she said that in that store fabric is the largest selling dept. but when they reset it will get smaller. What ever that means hope it is not pre cuts.

My local Wal-Mart cut way back on their fabric department. Used to be huge with lots of choices, Now no choices very basic.
The day before Christmas I went in to grab some material of course. Did not want to make the longer drive to LQS. I ran into the Manager, who attends my church, and he informed me that they are going to expand it back out to the original size. He said they are building a Hobby Lobby near by and have to compete with it.

Oh I hope this is true, I always thought they had a wonderful sewing department and that was before I knew how to sew, I would appreciate it even more now....they had so much to choose from and nice things too.....

a man that was going to open another Fabric retail store here as well. :D I really like the sounds of that :-D

When I went to WM on Sun. My fabric friend told me that they had planned to take it all out by first of April but she was now told they wont till July. We are hoping for a lot later than that. I bought a bunch of Christmas fabric on Clearance for $1.11,$1.36 and some wall and book panels for 64 cents. I was thrilled. But she told me to check out the new fabric and Oh My Gosh they got 2 full side of just beautiful fabric. All I said to my DH was get me out of here quick. I have a walk in closet full of fab. from the floor to ceiling[on shelves]and 2 piles deep on 2 big walls.Every piece is folded an tagged with its amount, and if it is for a pattern or one of many kits[from CT] I wrap it up with ribbon so they are all together.Now I have just finished a two door big Armour and filled that up. Tell me I am NOT a FABRICAHOLIC????? Just cant stop and it doesnt help when my DH finds the sale fabric and has to show me and says go ahead and get what you want. He is just to good to me. But I really need to stop real soon. I am trying to finish up 3 quilts and first I want to get a quilt made for a 10 yr old that has cancer. She is the daughter of one of my DH employees.

Howdy All. I am new here but wanted to say that we just had a new Wally's world open here, one of the Super stores. I dearly hope that they keep the fabric and bead sections. There is always JoAnns but they are a touch spendy. Have read a couple of the Tutes and learned a lot. Have 2 quilts in progress- a puff quilt and patch. Thank You all for sharing you knowledge
