I agree. I've had people want me to make them things until they find out how much I want to do it. A woman I met who was a professional seamstress and did beautiful work told me she once had a woman bring her some fabric and a pattern and want a dress made. When she told her how much it would cost, the woman said "I can buy one at Foley's for less than that." The seamstress said she just handed her the fabric and pattern and said "If you are happy with a Foley's dress, then I suggest you buy one" and showed her the door. Most people have no idea of the difference between the quality of items. Or any respect for the time others put into their quilts.
