If she sewed the left side first and then the right side, then everyone had to do it the same way. Everything had to be done in the exact order she did. Between that and some other ways she was rude, I quit. I didn't need that stress in my life. I think she ran off a lot of potential volunteers because of her controlling ways.
Some folks simply shouldn't try to be leaders. They seem to confuse the concept of leadership with bullying. A true leader has no need to bully.
