mrmquilt Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Well the lady I was dealing with showed up today. Thankfully she paid cash so I don\'t have to worry about bouncing a check. She told me she is working on a king size quilt that she will want me to quilt but it won\'t be ready for awhile. I told I didn\'t think I could deal with this again. She said she will make sure she has at least 3/4 of the money to start. I am so grateful for caller id, LOL. Also I will have contracts to be signed by then and things will be much different. Thank You all for your info. And Julie, Thanks for starting this post. I hope you post again to let us know how your situation is going.

mrsbishwit Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Michelle, Another thing you may want to tell this lady that finally picked up her quilt is that in the futue you require he payment in full when the quilt is dropped off. This way you will still be able to quilt for her and you won\'t be wondering if she will ever show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Michelle, I\'m glad she finally came and paid! I would ask her for a deposit at least that way you have more than a quilt. Heidi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryLou5740 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Two tho\'ts here...I know time eludes me..one month runs into another and time goes so fast, I\'m amazed sometimes...I can\'t believe we\'re just days from Christmas! Perhaps there has been extenuating circumstances..One last letter, sent Registered, return receipt requested. Then you\'ll know that it was received. Itemize the facts..the date she brought it...the date it was done, the dates you contacted her..and the last fact...that to re-coup the expense and time you have involved in the piece, you will take possession of the quilt on such and such a day. How about trying to raffle it off. Sometimes those theme quilts go really good..You might have to wait until August/Sept. next year, but you might just get a whole lot more than the $300. Boy, I went thru this when I was raising purebred dogs.... bad checks, promises and you know? It was the people that I knew the best and trusted (like from work, etc) that screwed me over. I wised up pretty darn fast and demanded 1/2 deposit..at least I didn\'t go in the hole that way. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
