Default S/O of Beware thread by MissM

This reminded me of a situation I ran into. A LQS had a beautiful Christmas tree skirt on display with the kit made up without the pattern. I bought the pattern took it home to make sure I could do it before purchasing the kit. I went back a couple of weeks later to pick up the kit. As I was standing in line waiting to purchase I was flipping through the fabrics ooooohhhhhing and aaahhhhhhhing. But, then I noticed that several of the fabrics weren't the one's in the display model. So I undid the fabric bundle and discovered that while the background fabric was the correct color it was toile. The main backgound of my Christmas tree skirt would of been little boys and girls in swings, fishing and playing in a pond in the summertime. When I asked about the substitution, was told they'd run out and it would work because the colors were the same family. Didn't purchase and now check in all kits to be sure that it's the fabric I expect!
