we never lost our fabric dept per se. It was downsized quite a bit. We have always had our cutting table. Last time I visited looked like they had expanded the aisle. I asked the woman on duty if they would be bringing fabrics back. She said they are suppose to either the end of the year or beginning of next. I went back in the store a week ago. They had a shelf in the middle of the aisle with some fabric. Looked to be old stuff and nothing I would use for quilting. Guess I will just wait for a few months and check back again

ROFL ROFL ROFL....
just last evening... I was walking in (in my office clothes, after work...NO QUILT POOP on me!!!) to pick up Rx. The greeter was very cheerful & said "Do you sew a lot?" I said "How can you tell?" She said we have our fabric back & gave me the flyer.
Even tho it was a quick trip in, I was due at the mechanic's, I went & looked.

They are just told what is going to show up. Their fabric is very loose weave, made in China, and not pretty at all. So depressing that a big company like that with such a BIG clientele (US), does not get it. I am giving up on them and let them quit selling fabric if they are going to sell junk. :(
At times in the past WM had decent fabric that was great for home dec items, gift bags, crafting, etc. But what they have HERE in our local WM now is not even worthy of that!

I just bought 8 yards at Wal-Mart yesterday. The lady cutting it screwed up and when I got to the checkout that's when I found out. They tried to fix it and did very nicely.
They gave me 8 yds. of fabric ($29) and a $10 gift card. So my eight yards cost me $19. WHHHHHHAAAAAAA HOOOOOOO
