-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] I don't think there is any doubt about it. We discussed here a couple of years ago that many Walmarts are eliminating the department alltogether. A JoAnn's in our area has just closed, too. The big local chain here, G Street Fabrics, seems also to have cut way back on inventory. I have gone in with coupon in hand a couple of times recently and couldn't find anything I wanted to buy. A friend of mine in NYC laments that many of those stores have even closed Let's face it, people just aren't sewing like they used to. Project Runway has evidently caused a little blip among the younger folks, but it may not be enough! To the original post, JoAnn's had some "sari" cottons with metallic threads last year, but who knows if they will this year? I'm assuming you don't live in an area that has actual Indian stores. (We have several here in the DC area.) Ann Wass Sigh. We had a great fabric store here before Walmart.... now we have a quilt store that's open when the owner feels like it, and a Ben Franklin that just opened (haven't been in yet - this weekend, I hope.) Everything else is at least 2 hours away on a nice summer day, and pretty much impossible (or impassible?) in the winter. As for Indian stores, we don't even have Indian PEOPLE...<G> There is one Pakistani couple in town, who I assume must shop in Denver or somewhere 'cause they ain't gonna find it here...
