I know many don't like Wal-Mart but it does make a difference for people on fixed incomes.

As an avid seamstress in a rural location, Walmart is my only source of affordable sewing goods. I'll sign and make the call too.

There are several places on the internet that you can buy fabric.

Couldn't you buy via the web and get a quantity discount??

Since I'm not aware of any Wal-Marts in the Shire, what, pray tell, does this have to do with the Hobbit Hole?

Wal*Mart ping.
Wally just spent a million bucks "upgrading" the store here in Aiken, SC.
They had a nice, comprehensive fabric and craft dept. Not any more. The "upgrade" did away with most of that. Hardware and auto have been downsized as well.
Wally's trying to look like Target. A shame!

WalMart PING.
Other than WalMart the nearest place for me to purchase fabric is more than 50 miles away. If WalMart follows through with 86ing its fabric department I will be 86ing most of my sewing.

"I know many don't like Wal-Mart but it does make a difference for people on fixed incomes."
Darn right about that. However, Wally World is slowly becoming more high end. Did you know there is no more lay-away there because it was not profitable for them? That was how I could purchase things like printers, TVs, stereos etc. Now have to do as much shopping as I can at Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General and such stores.
As to discontinuing fabric, there is a general trend in doing away for fabric stores. Where are people who sew supposed to get their fabrics from? There are plenty of people who sew their own clothes for various reasons; getting a better fitting garment is just one. And believe it or not, some people still make their own curtains and slipcovers? What next, getting rid of the crafts and art supplies?
