One of the biggest differences I've found in WM and the LQ shops is price. I rarely ever go into one of our LQS because of the "snotty" attitudes there...I have bought lots of material at one local LQS and WM and Mary Jo's in Gastonia, and Hancocks. We don't have JoAnns or Hobby Lobby here locally.

My Brain is numb now
I just came back from Walmart, and now I know why I don't go there. I got some extra money this week, cuz we're short man power at the assylum, and I got that fabric itch. There's a Walmart about a mile away from the Joanns I conveiniently plannned on going to, so I decided to go there first to see if they had fabric.
The short answer is yes.
The long answer is good luck getting it.
All total, I got 28 yards of fabric, and 2 yards of Pellon [gonna try this applique thing] that I cut myself for $69 and trust me, NONE of those yards were short.

I was at a local Wal-Mart over the weekend and they too were clearencing out the pre-cuts and had started putting in the bolts again. That makes 3 fairly close. Now, if only the one closest to my home would get it back, I would be set. (The worker in the crafts dept. said she is hoping we will get fabric back there, but she don't think we will because the manager is against it).
