Oh my gosh... how dreadful.... nobody deserves to be treated that way... I do not belong to our local guild. I have met some of the members in sewing classes given by lqs and just find they think they are above us newbies.... I get what I need in a guild type surrounding at this board.. it is awesome....
But I do want to say if I was you I would call them out on it....I would ask them what happened or what did you do to cause such a behavior? Watch how many people fidgit in their seats. I would also tell them that I was raised to be accepting of everyone thats what makes the America's or Canada so great we are multinational and we accept everyone.....and then I would say.. I was taught to treat people the way you would like them to treat you.. so does that mean you want me to a ( you know what?) How would you feel? and then I would say that I was not coming back unless there was an appology made on behalf of the group and unless their attitudes changed and then I would walk out..... At least I could have spoken my piece... We all support you here and you can sew with us anytime.... I hope you find another group to which you will feel more welcome.
