And that was so sweet of your husband.
On a happier note, I bought a really nice craft table from Walmart last winter. It had a few dings on it, but nothing that effects its use, so I asked the clerk if the price could be reduced because of the damage. She called her store manager, who asked me what I wanted to pay. So I told her a price that was about 25% off - and got it at that price! What amazed me is that Walmart bargained with me. I do love the craft cabinet, too, because the working surface height is perfect for cutting on!

I agree! Never had a problem ironing any/all fabric from Walmart yet! And I've bought many yards!

My husband would have bought the cheapest scissors he could find, IF I had sent him for some. NEVER would have thought of material. Now, mind you, he never has a problem with me picking out material, nor buying what I "need" for sewing! (I work and spend my own money...not his!) But he'd never think of just picking something nice up for me. Even birthday and Christmas..he might ask would I like this or that, but not spontaneously pick something up. The first year we were together he bought me an Army sargeant's jacket for Christmas from Goodwill!!! Now you see?? LOL!
