I embarass my husband a lot. He is a very kind and unconfontational (word?) type of person, I am not. I love a good aguement/debate. Soooo, I have learned to shut my mouth... sometimes. LOL But if they are selling and asking more than the fabric is worth, I fear my hubby will get embarassed. LOL I would ask first for the history. i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings either.
