Happy Valentine's Day!
#27
I learned a hard lesson while sewing for the public. Didn't get many bad checks but I did have several people change their mind and choose not to take the item. The worst one was a wedding dress that had quite a bit of beadwork on it. Full skirt with lace overlay....she eloped and failed to tell me! I did donate the dress to a charity for girls that couldn't afford formal or wedding gowns. Lesson learned? Well maybe!

I always collect 50% up front when the order is for a full-size quilt (baby, on up). Since the runners are smaller and generally easy to sell, I don't collect a deposit ahead of time, plus this client has been a pretty faithful customer and I'm afraid of rocking the boat. However, this is the third time she has ordered a runner and then decided against it, so I guess I'm going to have to change my policy. Dang.
