Well now I feel like a low class dog ! Being disabled and living on a meager income I was so excited about not only finding fabric I could afford and a LA quilter also was the high light of my day. The quilter didn't meet me in a smoke filled room to let me know she has a long arm, we were up front about everything. Since the store DOESN'T OFFER LA quilting I don't know what the problem is. If I was looking for someone to knit me a sweater I would ask the salesperson in that department and would gladly accept her suggestions whether she suggested herself or her mom ! If anything, getting to know a LA quilter would be an asset to their business because then a customer would be more apt to buy reasonably priced fabric and be able to see it completed as a quilt. AS IT IS, I can't afford the LQS prices nor their Quilt Police inspection of what I create, hence is why I have 3 quilts that aren't quilted.
I once had a position in a well known company and I was selling designer-fabric stuffed animals out of my office...told my boss, who was a senior v.p. if he paid me more money I wouldn't have to sell stuffed animals and his reply was he didn't have a problem with me selling animals ! At this same corporation we had folks that had cake decorating, wedding planners and band members.
