Aside from being firm and blunt (this person thinks "rude"), the one thing that worked for me was to tell them I would gladly sell them whatever it is they wanted. So, next time she wants your fabric, offer to sell it to her at a reasonable price. I guarantee you, she won't want it anymore. If you do this several times, she will quit asking and look elsewhere for her "free ride."

Don't let her get you down. Most people aren't like that.

I had that happen too. I always felt defensive because I worked hard for everything I had. One day, I decided to change tactis and I said"Yes, it is wonderful to have as much as I have. I love it!" Do you know, I NEVER heard that from that person again! The fight was what he wanted and he wasn't getting that anymore. Also, You can tell "moochie" your fabrics are all $10.00-15.00 a yard and you will be glad to measure them out for her. Sigh.................pray for her.....to leave.
