Polite sales help. So many shops could have made so much money on me alone, but with snooty attitudes, who needs it? All quilt shops are different, so I've never found one I didn't like. Let those ladies give me what for and it's done for me. I'm not talking about one or two people. That happens. Some days one may catch help from someone with problems a lot bigger than your own. I'm talking about a general attitude you feel as you walk through the door. Needless to say, I'm never sorry when they go out of business...and they usually do. Any quilter that wants to buy can be persuaded to with polite and helpful shopkeepers. Not pushy, just nice and truthful. Good luck to you and your shop. Carol
