If the manager of your fabric department does a good job of keeping the department well stocked and clean be sure to praise them when you call.
Yes, I've noticed where I live, all the fabric shops are gone except for one & I don't know how much longer they will be able to hold out. I guess not that many people sew anymore.
Actually, I've noticed everytime I go to Walmart (which is mostly where I shop), their selection of items is getting less and less. Now that they've put all the mom & pops out of business, they're just not giving us the selection we once had.
I have a love/hate feeling about Walmart.
