Buying fabric is a more personal experience than other goods. I sew clothing and I want to put my hands on the fabric, feel the stretch and softness of it to decide how it will wear.

I do buy on the Internet, ebay is a great source, but your taking a chance the fabric won't be what you want, not to mention the wait time when your working on an order.

E-bay is a really good source for upholstery fabrics. And sometimes you can get good deals on fat quarters.

I guess Walmart wants to be more like Target? They've not only eliminated the mom & pop stores but many other retailers so in some areas they are pretty much the only source to purchase from.
