Hi Carol,

If you don't want to do the job and don't feel confortable with the design 
don't do it.  You don't want to be responsible in replacing the towels (I have 
that clause in my company policy).
  
I had rejected some jobs in the past.  There is nothing wrong telling the 
truth, follow your guts feeling.

Maggie

  Well, one would think that someone like me, who can hardly every turn up a 
customer for anything, would want to not do a job for a customer, but here it 
is. What's the best way to tell someone you will not be able to do their job? 
This person has dropped off some towels, so I can certainly return them to her. 
Anyone have a suggestion? I can easily think of some nice polite white lies, 
but the bottom line is, I am not communicating well with her. It's monograms 
which I realize is something I have absolutely no experience of or idea how to 
do, so I can't make any decent suggestions for her, and she's taken up so much 
of my time already with constant emails and questions that I can hardly face 
doing the sewing. My luck has been very poor lately with doing even the most 
basic items, and I can see myself buying new towels from Restoration Hardware 
to replace these and I just don't want to do it. I am basically a truthful 
person, so I would rather say, I'm not feeling like I can do this properly, you 
need to find someone else. But maybe that's not totally necessary or advisable? 
Suggestions?
