up needing about 4-5 times that many once I get started.
Now my problem is going to be WHERE/HOW will I store all these
after I get my fabric folded onto them.
But I will NOT go back to the store where I got these from as
the guy pretty much made me mad as heck. He asked what was
I planning to use that many boards for I told him for folding my
fabric onto them.
He made a few RUDE comments about about how "crafters" are
always using things not intended for them. I told him I was being
NICE by bringing my business LOCALLY to his store as to going to
a big chain store or online to get them. But if he didn't want my
business that was fine with me I can shop else where.
GOOD for you, we try to buy local at the smaller "Mom and Pop" type stores when we can. Trying to help keeping them alive. But I'm like you, be rude, but I don't have to go back to them. We try to stay on budget, but I don't have to take rudeness, I'll take my money were they appreciated it!
