Am I missing something in looking at this material? They will be closing this section in about a year and I can really stock up on fabrics of all styles or am I wasting my money?

I would check out the material and definately stock up. Cotton has gone up 80 % in the last year so our fabric is going up. I was hoping W/M was going to keep the material in the stores that had it and maybe going to bring it back to the stores like my 2 that lost it. :thumbdown:

I've made quilts from quilt shops that faded out something terrible in a very short time, and it sure wasn't cheap! I don't own stock ( wish I did!), I just think they get bashed a little too much here.Just my opinion.

We lost our fabric department on Dec. 31 and I am gonna dearly miss it. It was the only place to buy fabric in our town, the others are 20-30 min. away. I am just hoping they don't close those any time soon.

Walmart bashing seems to be a national pastime. I agree with the quote below. Use your own judgment about the feel and quality of the fabric.
I agree with everything you said. I buy most all of my groceries at our WM, too.
