Even though it is a canned letter, that doesn't mean it wasn't a reasoned
response, and it indicates that someone has done something. One doesn't
always
get any kind of response.
Sorry, I just get really tired of constant Walmart bashing. I don't work
for them, don't own stock, etc.
BTW, We have independent fabric shops in this area, and I shop in them once
in a while. The biggest problem with them is that they never seem to have
heard of the Textile Products Identification Act. Much of the fabric is not

Our local Wal-Mart pretty much specializes in tacky polyesters, so I don't use
it much, and won't care if they cease to carry fabric. In addition, I live

the New York fabric district, and have access to plenty of

Remember those cushions grandma had in her house? That be what this is, pin
