I have a friend who is very generous with me in every way but every time I take a course of any kind she always asks for the pattern.For years I have said "no the teacher doesn't want us to share her directions". This stops her for a while till she finds I have gone to anoter course. I have told her about courses and financially she is able to do them she just doesn't want to go! I feel bad about this as she is so generous in every other way. I even went so far as to pay and give her a course for a birthday gift and she was a no show!!!
