I agree with you on this one, I went to one of the LQS around here and when I was there they looked at me like I was a dip wad for even coming into the place. I guess since I am a guy I dont know what I am doing.
The lady (owner) asked me if I was shopping for my wife and I told her no that I was starting to learn how to quilt and was needing a few things. She offered some courses and I declined at the time because of a few projects I had going on. Then she start quizzing me about what machine I was going to use and when she found out that I was using a 100yo treadle she told me "Good luck with that" in a snippy attitude.
After about 15 minutes of her attitude and I just told her she didnt need any of my money and walked out.
