When I informed my bro that it would cost $50 (fabric was on sale at the time) plus I didn't have the money to do it for him. He said he did not need it at this time. You tell me. Was I just about used?? Glad I did have the money. They need to understand it is not cheap.K
Looks like you were about to be left holding and empty bag, (money bag)that is. Don't think he really had intentions of paying you for the work and finished product you were about to do. He wanted to give a free gift to grandparents.
YA I know how that works I've repair a couple of quilts an didn't even get a thank you out of it so I don't think i'm up to do that again.lesson learned.
