I would have spoken up. No fear in this girl. lol I'd have helped her figure her cuts, given her my card, and told her to call me if she needed help. (I have a custom window treatment and quilting business). Hey, I'm so bold I once offered to help a new Walmart employee cut the fabric. She was having a horrible time with right handed scissors and she was left handed. She gladly handed them over and before I left she learning how to rip cut. I firmly believe our knowledge is to share.... :)
