Next time you have that feeling:
turn your head to the right and say "no" then turn your head to the left and say "heck no" then turn your head back to the right and say "no" then turn your head back to the left and say "heck no" (Keep repeating until the message gets through) |
She has a lot of nerve. I would say the agreement was one jacket 2 weeks ago not now. Tell her you ran out of time. I think that why she left the material when you weren't home.
|
I agree -- NO WAY! I might even mail the fabric back to her. There is nothing that makes me as mad as rude inconsiderate people who try to take advantage of me. No note, just the fabric in the envelope and I think I would wait two weeks to mail it to her.
|
I agree have her pick up the fabric and tell her it it too late for Christmas. She has no idea what it takes and how long and then if you can not make 2 from what she gave you that is not fair. Why should you stress out to make her happy.
|
I quit sewing for people for just this reason and the fact that the price agreed on was never what they wanted to pay after the goods were done. I made a cute costume for one person for her little girl and she said "oh, the money was in the bag with the fabric" Not!! And another time made a vampire cape for one of the girls I worked with and she paid me half and said can I give you the rest payday? Of course payday never came. So now I just say NO and back to my quilting. So.. I guess the thing is...Just say NO!!!
|
I agree with the others! NO, NO, NO!!! She has probably pulled this before and gotten away with it!
It's called, winning by intimidation......don't be her victim!!! :thumbdown: :thumbdown: |

Don't take a check from her when she does pick it up.

I have a "last minute" boutique coming up this saturday and I have already decided that 99% of requests for another quilt or whatever in different size, fabric, etc will get a no. the maybe 1% i say yes to will be at least double the price.
I have old items that I am also reducing the price on and the quilts I made were easy patterns with fabrics that I had bought at a great price. |
that was so rude for her to take so long and then add to the order last minute.learn to say no.
