This is timely as I am dropping off a commission piece to the machine quilter today. I have always “valued” my work at the cost of materials. A dear friend is a painter and her works sell for thousands. Thank you for helping me with a perception adjustment, reminding me that I am an artist.

Melissa – being able to say to a client “I just don’t think our goals (idea/vision.. whatever) is moving down the same road.” is one of the hardest.
Sometimes it comes down to the roof over your head or the food in your belly.
But, if we were to say No Thank You would the doors open for something SEW much better?
It is a leap of faith every time.

It’s sad enough women are underpaid in the workplace… why do we undersell ourselves on our own turf?
Thank you Sam for giving us tools to work with and improve our self esteem to be able to ask for what we deserve.

I’ve done a lot in the last 6 years to reduce the obligations in my life, so I can spend more time doing what pleases me. (That isn’t all narcissistic as it might sound, as a lot of what pleases me is doing for others.) I’m lucky. I get to choose. It would be hard for me to choose to take commissions if they involved doing work I didn’t like. Thanks for bringing up this tough issue. It IS okay to say “no.” (AND it IS okay to fire a client. That needs to happen sometimes, too.)
