The other day someone said that they were talking to someone from Hobby
Lobby and that if Walmart does away with their fabrics then HL will follow
suit.
I tend to doubt that. Hobby Lobby caters to the quilting hobby and the
home dec folks -- both a big part of their craft store business. They
sell patterns, but they never really supplied dressmaker fabrics, so if
people aren't sewing clothing, it's not really hurting them. Quilting is
still very big.
Wal-Mart tries to be all things to all people. Unless it's the only
retail store in town -- and it is in much of rural America -- it's not
the first place anyone thinks to go for dress fabric. And clothing is so
cheap there I can almost see why their customers would give up sewing.
(But maybe not alterations).
