[quote=sewbizgirl]You only delayed the inevitable by making excuses as to why "today" wasn't a good time. That also leads her to believe you are open to sharing it, 'at a more convenient time.'
This is what I felt also and just didn't put all the right words in my response to you. From the getgo you knew you wouldn't share the pattern with her because of copyright law and yet instead of standing your ground you allowed the situation to go on till a later date when you could have just nicely but firmly ended it....I don't like confrontation either but I'm one of those older persons that have learned not to drag things on and on because I don't have time (my time is valuable also) for that kind of nonsense or whatever adjective you choose to use in this case.
Life is just to short....
