Why do you say that, Loretta? What do you mean? I find that small business owners generally get even more 'customer oriented' as economic times get stressful for both themselves and thier customers.
Kyssyfur, perhaps if you asked the owner to go back to making the use of thangles, or any other technique that requires the purchase of additional items, an option and not a necessity, she would be most agreeable. I'm sure she'd understand. How was the BOM club advertised? Did it say you had to use thangles and would not really get any instruction in completing the blocks? Tell her you are new to quilting and could use some guidance. I bet there are others who feel the same way you do about it. Give her the benefit of the doubt, same as you expect her to give you.
