Good point! If the fabric was bundled and identified as "fabric to make xyz quilt pattern" it would be helpful to those that already had the book/pattern. i can certainly understand someone not wanting to buy an expensive book again just to get the kit. I would just like things to be clearly marked.
I KNOW several shop owners and am not trying to bash anyone. Many times they are between a rock and a hard place. I just feel some are doing their customers a disservice by not being clear. I would say the same of other businesses that have what are percieved as "hidden" charges for their goods.
