WE LOVE YOU FOR OUTSOURCING THE JOBS AND CHARGING US MORE MONEY. A DOUBLE WHAMMY FOR US AND A DOUBLE YIPPEE! FOR YOU.
I agree with you Butterfly Wing. And on another note, I don't believe boycotting our LQSs is the answer. As much as I don't like paying the LQS prices, I really don't want to see ours go out of business. Our local store (even it is 15 miles from me), provides a place for classes and always is helpful if you have questions (and always answers those questions with a smile). They have beautiful fabric, too. (If you are in the area, drop by and visit them---The Sewing Cottage, Martel, CA.)
