We have a really good fabric department here in Pocatello, Idaho. You do have to watch the fabrics because some quilting fabrics are pretty thin. But that is any fabric store.

Our local Walmart didn't get the dept. back yet. The other Walmart 20 miles away has pre cuts. I was very disappointed. So hope Pa. here get the fabric dept. back as it was.

Shopped both JoAnns and WalMart yesterday and found the coordinating fabrics I was looking for at WalMart. I paid $6 a yd and it is very nice. I bought some at JoAnns but it took me forever to find the 4 or 5 fabrics to make a Bow Tuck. I think you just have to look everywhere because I see really low quality at JoAnns as well.

Our WM got their fabric dept. back, and I use it all the time. The fabric is great, the colors bright, and I am so glad it is back.

Walmart here made a half hearted attempt but not near as nice as before. Guess what was discounted in carts? Alot of the party items they replaced the fabric with! I completely stopped shopping there, go back for cream for DH coffee!

One of our WalMart's has fabrics. Some of the fabrics are not what I would want to quilt or make things with. Some of the fabrics are "Premium" and are of good quality. I also got some nice cotton quiflt batting to make potholders with. I had already gotten the fabric and Insul-bright.

We have three Wal-Marts in Wichita Falls, TX. One has had fabric all along, one had some and then didn't, and one never had any. When I shop at the one that has fabric, I usually find something that pleases me. It is one of the first places I shop for fabric. Then Hobby Lobby and then Hancocks. I find their fabric all about the same.

The fabric dept. has recently been reorganized though, apparently to stock more fabric. I wonder if the Wal-Mart I never get to has got fabric back? Hmmmmm.
