Thanks for the warning - I have looked at site several times but didnt sign up for anything since it took a very long time to go thru all her sale pitches!!!

If the unsubscribe isn't working, have you tried blocking the sender's email address?

I, too, was disgusted by her sales pitches. Also her use of caps and shouting and that her site was the best ever. I felt like I was in an infomercial. No more for me.

I marked it as spam and removed her from my contacts list. I've had to do this with a few sites. Their messages go dirctly to "junk" folder and they will go away after a few days or I can empty it myself. We live and learn...

thanks...I will stay away from her site.

Every e-mail was just a teaser to buy more. I soon found out I could have learned more, from this group or on Yu Tube. I regret the day I wasted my money, and time for this
and am glad I didn't fall for more.
I,m glad you posted this. I was kind of leery of doing it,
because I thought I should not.
I did get the e-mails to stop after a couple of trys.
Hang in there and keep trying or just DELETE.


I had the same experience! After several e mails and offers, I finally purchased her Machine quilting package, with several bonus offers, about $170. or so... I did not get all of the bonus offers, and after several unanswered phone calls, messages left, I finally got in touch with the company, they said to download it from the internet. OK I was not happy with this answer (as I paid for books, not to use my paper and ink) the downloaded articles were worthless, as was the written book and tips. She also included CD's of audio phone calls with questions and answers from featured quilters. These calls audio were so poor that I could not hear over ladies breathing,( these were conference call protocol) babies crying, mothers talking to children, one lady talking to a friend on another phone while listening to the call. I finally got fed up and again after several calls told the company I wanted my $$ back and I will send back the worthless materials. Yes they were worthless, everything she had in the articles, were on the internet free! I did look for complaints against her, but found none at the time, this was about 18 months ago. I did get a full refund, and guess what NO MORE E MAILS from her or her stupid cat! She is not selling anything secret or new, I can't believe that she is still in business!

I signed up as you did, and quickly found out she is all about selling. I just unsubscribed and haven't heard a word from her since. But she certainly made herself a nuisance there for a while.

Same problem here. I got real tired of it. I did change internet providers (not because of her) and that I no longer get her mail is a real plus.

Yeah I did get those letters and stopped them for the same reason, but I didn't have trouble getting them stopped. It was waaayyy too much e-mail.

I experienced the same thing. I just select all the messages from her and her websites and the extended websites and delete them. I f you follow a link to have your name removed or cancel a newsletter you get tagged. So, just delete them eventually they will stop.
