I don't belong to a guild because of that kind of treatment. I started to join and have been told we do it this way. So I stay home and I use the money I would have spent on a guild on fabric and I make quilts my way.
I have given my quilts and sold my quilts to other people and none of them said they did not like the quilt as a matter of fact they loved them.
So I guess I am not the person to advise you. Just had the statement to tell you. Juju
