Gradually, as designers went out of business, most learned the lesson--support your designers and support your shops or they'll vanish and leave you with nothing. I guess better late than never. I've worked in publishing where copyright is critical, so I tend to be firm on this rule. I still see abuse around on occasion. I try not to be obnoxious, but I do point out that it is illegal and, I think, immoral and that I will not participate in their class, group, whatever in any way. (not that anyone who would behave taht way would care, but at least I feel better and someone else may have overheard and start thinking.)Moonsilk Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659720657383001401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829948620859455677.post-30697945655394381472012-02-26T16:42:43.157+00:002012-02-26T16:42:43.157+00:00Just want you to know that there are some of us ou...Just want you to know that there are some of us out here that respect the work of designers. <br />A friend asked me about your designs and I told her about your site. She asked me if I'd share the patterns with her and I went into my 'this designer worked hard to make her designs and she deserves to be compensated' rant. <br />I absolutely love your work ~Elsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410432918093105452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829948620859455677.post-21850882000937812042012-02-25T13:15:57.923+00:002012-02-25T13:15:57.923+00:00It certainly is a tricky one and you've clearl...It certainly is a tricky one and you've clearly gone through all the stages to come to that conclusion. Its heart breaking when someone takes your design and flaunts it as their own. However, you know what it just shows that they clearly don't have any real talent. Embroidery isn't just about the technique its the design, the application of it.<br /><br />Your work is amazing from design through to execution, and as a fellow embroiderer I never take from others because I don't need to. <br /><br />Keep up the stonking work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937284878722235704noreply@blogger.com
