I would of blown a fit, that is so dishonest. if they didn't have a fabric to compliment it that you like, I'd go and buy it else where. And ask for money back to purchase other fabric.Didn.t anyone else realize the switch??

I just have to agree,I'd feel duped also and would not shop there if it was the last store on earth. with the internet we have a whole world ahead of us. apparently they don't realize the competition they have.

I have sworn off BOMs for that very reason - they are expensive and not always what you see. I feel like that if fabrics are going to be changed then the buyer needs to be able to help choose what she thinks will be best for her or at least told that they are going to be different.

Oh absolutely. THe one and only kit I bought had exactly what the sample looked like, which is why I bought it. Had they substituted something I didn't like in it, I would have been very very upset.

At the very least, I would ask for a refund if there is no mention of substitutions in the original instructions/packet.

This is why I don't buy kits...I have seen several and either not all fabrics were the same as the sampler or they didn't have more fabric to make kit larger...I have only bought one kit and then was able to add other fabric to it to make it work...Definately they should let you sub other fabric...

For one thing, you paid for something and got something else. They should have told you what they were substituting and given you the choice of buying or not buying. I would be upset, too. I think I would ask them to let you pick your own substitutions or return the whole thing.
