Our walmart is the only fabric place within 25 miles of where we live. I'm not sure what will happen if they close that section down. We'll be left with nothing. There is an upholstery place about 20miles away but the lightest nylon cloth they carry is 300 D cordura. Shopping "locally" is just simply not an option.

"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."

Bobbin Tension - A Personal Viewpoint
Don't forget that all of those people working in your Wal-Mart store are local. In many areas the big box retailers are the largest employers. I think people tend to forget that when they complain about the "evil empire."
