Maybe if people keep complaining they will put fabric back in all there stores, cause like someone said the other fabric stores are way more expensive than walmart...

Walmart's stock prices went down 7 of the last 8 quarters. I am convinced it happened when they started making quilters/sewers/crafts people mad by taking out the fabric depts & we retaliated by not shopping there any more. Why go there-the rest of what they sell can be bought at Target's & Mejer's. It took them 2 yrs to figure it out. We tryed to tell them with our letters, calls, & petitions. It took them 2 yrs to figure out the CUSTOMER is always right! Maybe we'll all get our fabric depts. back. We'll just have to wait & see how serious they are about keeping their customers happy. Then maybe if we boycott some of the other stores, they'll lower their prices to something more reasonable & absorb some of the cost of cotton themselves.

I have 2 WM within 10 miles of me here in West TN and neither one has fabric. They don't even have FQs like some WMs do. When I was in KS visiting family I found out the WM there had a huge fabric section, and nice stuff too. Plus they were having a sale. :-D So you know what I did. Yep I bought 45 yards of fabric. My son said, "Mom that's half a football field!" :D Oh well what can I say. ;-)

I recently noticed the expansion of our fabric department. Quite a bit of the new fabric is really nice quality, too. The new fabric is bring a new price with it, as well - $6.97/yard! Still less than LQS - which we don't have here in this town. I bought all the fabric to make a log cabin quilt for a workshop I was giving & I spent waaaay under $50.00 for everything. All Blacks & Whites with Reds, too, so they are paying attention to what is hot & what is not.

Now if we can get them to stop getting the same fabric that was there 9 years ago when they opened, we'd really be making progress!

We have no fabric shops within 90 miles of us except for the LQS. So our WalMart is now expanding their fabric department. When they remodeled the store a couple years ago, they shrank the fabric department considerably, but it is growing by leaps and bounds. They even had to remove the yarn section because they had so much fabric. Last weekend I went in and bought the material to make the latest quilt-of-the-month "Lilac Dance".

If WalMart would contract for the best quality fabrics and Clover notions can you imagine how much the store would profit? Why can't any of the Walmart execs. know this? The fabric dept would outsell any other dept in the store.
