    Default Ethical question- or not.

    So I ordered 2 yds of Bella Snow. I often use this color. When I got my order it didn't look white at all- it looks cream. I realize that snow isn't "white- white", but this is most definitely cream. I am in the middle of trying to find some other samples of snow to see if I am just losing my mind. But right now I can't. I called and they said that if it's labeled snow- it's snow, and maybe it's just a change of dye lots. I really don't think it's snow- but I can't prove it.

    So now I am stuck with yardage that I really don't like. I guess this is one of the drawbacks of ordering on-line. So if they didn't make a mistake- and the snow I have is the real thing- I don't really have a right to return it. It's what I ordered. I don't feel right returning something, especially yardage, when they didn't make a mistake- or I can't prove it otherwise.

    I realize this is a small thing, but I work on a very tight budget, so I am frustrated at myself and the situation.

    Thanks for listening.

    Try posting it on the I Don't Want It Group........and try swapping it for something you do want. Color matching can be difficult online.

    Bella snow is very creamy with a yellowish tint to it.

    Kona snow is creamy but not nearly as yellowish as Bella.

    To me, it sounds like you got what you ordered. Someplace on here Jean has pictures of them side by side.

    OK, I am officially losing my mind. I found yardage that I know for sure is snow, and compared them. They are the same.

    Can I blame 4 kids under 7 driving me nuts while 7 months pregnant with #5? AND A SEWING MACHINE IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!! My brains cells are just drying up- I can hear it.

    Sorry everyone, just ignore me.

    (BTW- hopefully I get my machine tomorrow)

    You are right, there is a difference between Bella and Kona, and I usually got Kona in the past.

    Courtesy is not optional.

    The kids aren't that bad. I am just driving myself nuts with no outlet- sewing. Hopefully tomorrow I will get my machine back and be back in business. I am a mess when I have no projects, ever since I was a kid.

    I'd like to know how you find the time to sew! Sounds like a busy household to me.
