Ifyou feel that you are not assertive enough have an assertive friend or I hate to say it but it works,a male make the calls. Do not hang up till you get satisfaction. They always have a "boss" above them, take names,. You may have to leave voice mails but don't give up they will get tired of it and issue a refund or yardage!
I would also send emails to the CEO of the company.
I agree with all of this and also remember to mention that you will give warning to any quilt guilds you are a member of and of course that you will post it here and on Facebook or Twitter. Maybe if they know that you are unhappy enough to spread the word world wide they will be more apt to do what is right for you.
