Costumers’ Group Black List

There exists a Black List, which is a compilation by many Costumers in a group effort to avoid customers who have been difficult to work with.  As a collective group of sewists, small businesses, and hobbyists, we are in many groups geared to assist each other in sewing and related hurdles. The Black list may include persons name, state, studio name, link to their faceBook, and/or Instagram pages if they were used as a means for contacting the Costumer. We enjoy most people, a few difficult ones slip through our screenings. Check with your costumer to see if they placed you on the list.

Remember that this is a hobby for us, and it should be a pleasant experience for all parties involved.
