Thanks ... it's worked good for me. I've learned a LOT by doing that. The 4Bs were incredible. I would go into a store and announce that was what my focus was, and what could they show me or help me learn about the 4Bs? One example during the 4Bs ... at one, some samples came out of the back corners that I would never have seen .... several different batting samples the way you would buy them plus the same quilted up plus the same quilted and washed. What a good discussion I had, and opportunity to see, feel and compare the differences!
The shops really did want to please ... and since then, I've never hesitated to announce my "mission" and how they could help fulfill it, regardless of it being purchase oriented or education. Besides, if they handle it right, very often "education" leads to purchasing!
