well i agree some of you not all i,ve been here since 2007 or more and have seen the same one asking for a hand out ,but like someone said it,s our hobby we should support our own hubby why can,t they use and make do with want they can use i also get s.s. checks as well,if sewing makes me happy then i,ll find a way to do it i,ll save money, go to goodwill, use old cloths,buy sheets from sale,s or yard sale,s,i mean come on if you have internet then you can afford to find a way im sure but im sorry to say this but some are just lazy they want it to come to them and not even offer to pay for shipping cost or a thank you later im sorry i said that but it,s ture ,i can,t or won,t expect anyone to keep supporting my hobby and im not a bad person eighter i give to the hungery on the streets and buy food for familys that have childern or help seniors that need food ,ive even gone as far as paying for peoples copay for their meds,it,s like my paster always say,s common sense pepole use your common sense and i truely believe that .when there,s a will there,s a way ,im not going to wait for fabric to fall on my lap or ask for it i,ll buy it when i have the money for it, or if i need it that bad gee i,ll go take my can,s that i collect for cash it better then asking. that,s just the way i see it. i think new people see others asking so they think i do the same thing too.i think if you need fabric then wait for someone to offer some for free but give then a thank you and send them something for there help the needy can also give back .sorry for beining so hard but it,s ture enough is enough we all have hard times right now including myself
