I think we have all heard these at one time or another especially around the holidays.

Had that same experience. Not with Craft but when Growing Fuchsias. Wanted 25 baskets all white. When asked when for, she said in 2 weeks.

Just have to be firm. When we had a Nursery. When asked for a Discount we would tell them if they spend $100 we would give them a bonus.
360644I just got asked this yesterday! Can I make 100 for a charity freebie, we can't pay but it is for a good cause! I am actually thinking about it. But the rest are so insulting I have to wonder upon hearing this from some ungratefully rude person just how you keep your temper? I am not sure that I would!~hugs~

115756Love this - thanks, I'd like to add one though:
"so, you just punch a button the machine does all of this?"
That's about the time I want to lecture them about the planning, the purchasing, the software work, the stabilizer, the threads, the careful placement, etc...etc...etc

Again when we had the Nursery a Lady told my DH that he had a cheek. All we had to do was stick a cutting in the ground and we charge that much????????

I do the Market to get me out of the house. Have to sell so then I have a reason to sew more.

Had a Lady bought a Mug Bag from me. Hate making these as they are so fiddly. She came back and asked me if she supplied the Fabric would I make a quantity for her. I dreaded this as I had no idea what to charge her. Well I have never seen her again, so maybe she succeeded in pulling mine apart and getting her own pattern.

I often am asked if they buy quantity can they get them cheaper. Their idea of quantity was 3 or 4. I just say no as they take too long to make.
42046Hi mi30kaja, Some people can be so rude, and it does hurt at times when they say these things. But as artist & crafters we can rise above all this and create more wonderful pieces. Thankyou for sharing. Kind Regards Lorraine McNeill of South Australia
