How do you tie your shoes???
Bunny ears? Or one loop, over, under and pull?
TWO KNOTS.... SAME BASIC RESULT!
Its a tie blanket guys! Its not rocket science! (No offence) I make them too.
But if anyone really thinks that they have exclusive rights to certian patterns, woah! Unless you want to design and license you own prints??? Well, good luck... for now you'll just have to share with the Billions of other shoppers who buy Fabrics at Joanns, Hancocks, and Wallmarts all over the country. Sorry.
I don't mean to be curt, but seriously? ....Seriously. You are not in the wrong in any way!
I asked a blanket maker if they would give me measurements and tell me how to make tie blankets... I needed everything! How much fabric to buy, how to cut it, how big to cut the strips! The whole deal! She all but came to my home and made them for me!

In this business getting catty with other vendors is not a good idea... Make friends, you never know when you'll need them. Other vendors and I help eachother out all the time! Its awesome! We work together! We all can use more friends, personally I'll never have enough of them!!!
