Chris, I am so sorry you are having that problem, I think it is totally unfair. I am amazed at the quilts the men do on the board. I think they take a different approach to quilting and I learn so much from them. My favorite quilt store is owened and operated by two men. They are so talented and helpfull. You know you always are welcome here, I hope you find a local store that appreciates your talent as we do. Carol
