Some quilters are very rude they think they know more then any one else. That's ok I don't know everything but I still enjoy quilting and learning. I love your comment and I hope she gets material stuck in the plate and has to take it in to get it fixed. SAME ON HER FOR HAVING A SMALL MIND.

What a shame. Old crones.
A few years ago I waited in a long line the day after Thanksgiving to buy a video camera for my S and DIL. When it finally came my turn to make a purchase, the clerk asked if I'd like an extra something or another to go with the camera. I thought about it for maybe 5 seconds...an and old hag behind me thumped her big old expensive purse on the counter and said "Don't hurry just because I'm waiting behind you!" The clerk gasped. I sized her up in a quick glance...60something,bossy, spoiled, used to getting her way, way expensive clothes and purse and jewelry for WalMart on Black Friday...I smiled sweetly and said "Oh, I never get in a hurry...it just makes you old and ugly." I looked at the clerk and said, "I've decided to pay for this with a check instead of my debit card and I'll need to call my husband since he has the checkbook. He's in the store somewhere."
Old hag looked offended and MAD but what could she do? The clerk looked pleased. Even the couple of customers behind me looked pleased and didn't mind one bit that they had to wait about a minute for my husband to get there.

There are many rude people in the world, I firmly believe in the saying "what goes around comes around". They are just plain ignorant .

Don't assume someone doesn't know what they are talking about just because they don't look like your traditional quilter.
