We haven't even discussed the cost of gas as the rental is about an hours drive from my home. After these costs are looked after we split the remainder 50/50. I will return it to her and tell her that I cannot quilt it in that condition. I would rather go without the "profit" than to have to deal with all the possible problems.
Half of less than $200 is NOT worth the effort, bad taste left for her, the inconvenience, and the time/gas cost. SO glad you are letting it go! Jan in VA You are smart for returning it to her, and you are smart for taking care of yourself ! |
Get out of this mess now and do not look back and give it back and tell her she will have to find a quilter and then they can tell her it can't be done walllll off your sholders. Ans yes part of that $$$$ is to pay for the fabs out of your stach... Good luck

Tell her the truth since she appears not to be a true friend or even a good acquaintance. Be blunt. Let her know that a quilt needs to be what I call "groomed" before quilting. She did the work, let her finish the work. Give it back to her so she can do the grooming. And if the quilt comes back to you in an un-quiltable condition, refuse to quilt it. Even better, suggest to her that SHE can have HER quilt machined quilted and refer someone or a shop who can do it. Especially since it appears that she is making a profit off of your stash and your work.

She dosn't act like a friend. I would return it and agree with the member who said lose her phone number. Being able to say NO is the best weapon to have in any armoury.
|
You call her a friend? I wouldn't do that to any of my friends and if they tried to do it to me I would just say NO.
Hope I don't hurt your feelings, but IMHO she is a user, not a friend, definitely NOT a friend. |

Do you HAVE to stay friends with her? I would never do that to a friend. I woudn't expect her to make it and if she insisted and I sold it I would pay her half. Wow.

I bet they don't stay friends!!!(if they were)
