They were your pins, you paid for them. You spent your time putting them in, your time is worth money. You had every right to take them out. No wonder some one was going to do it for half the cost if they thought it was already measured and pinned.

Pinning I always thought was part of hemming. If you are going to do part of it (by pinning) then they should pay for that part. Actually, to me that is really the most work, the rest is time. No you weren't wrong, pins, tools, aren't free not to mention your time getting it ready to pin. My gosh!.

Yes, what you said!

No you weren't wrong. To leave them in would have to be an extra charge. Their $30 hem job may turn into much more.

I need help finding and old pattern. Its is just one pattern called tumbling blocks. Patrice I did not know where to put my request for help. Put this anywhere you need to. thanks Jo.

Just go to Google search and search for "Free Tumbling Blocks pattern" and you'll find a ton of them. You can find almost any pattern either there or on here.
