Just stumbled onto your blog and wanted to say 'Hi!' :)<BR/><BR/>Just adding my tuppence worth here, on this one .......<BR/><BR/>It gets me rauched up too. In the past I've beta stitched for some designers, to make display pieces for their patterns, and 1 designer in particular has a really bad habit of promising cash payment when pieces are recieved, but then not paying up but still using the stitching to advertise the project. I see my piece on her website and fume when I think she got it for free AND it cost me money in materials to kit it. Grrrr. (I don't stitch test pieces for designers anymore BTW, lol.)<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just unlucky with the ones I got to stitch for, but it tars them all with the same brush in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>I expect some are decent.......<BR/><BR/>I hope that lady on the yahoo group doesn't get anyone to fall for her cheap labour ploy. Who would want a copy of the pattern they'd already kitted up and stitched for her? Cheap, cheap, cheap......but typical, from my experience.The Silver Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195004472008307994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24640923.post-39233876128034016162007-12-07T02:58:00.000+10:002007-12-07T02:58:00.000+10:00Why on earth would you want a copy of the chart yo...Why on earth would you want a copy of the chart you've already stitched up? I tend not to buy anything that isn't already stitched up as a model. It really bugs me to see some of those designs on eBay that are nothing more than computer generated charts of a previous drawing or photo. First of all many of them are using copyrighted images I am sure they don't have the rights too, and second, I doubt that any of them would stitch up very nicely. There's more to creating a pattern than running it through some software.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432778814708875811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24640923.post-60467217180133453072007-12-05T02:02:00.000+10:002007-12-05T02:02:00.000+10:00I think it is very poor indeed.

She would let you pick out a certain $ amount of things from her shop. But I really feel like that is a lot of stitching for just a chart!Name: Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627873722161376893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24640923.post-74200987305042787962007-11-26T23:28:00.000+10:002007-11-26T23:28:00.000+10:00I can understand that the designer herself might n...I can understand that the designer herself might not have time to stitch every design but you would think she would have someone stitch it before she publishes it. I don't usually buy patterns that don't have a picture of a finished product first. The only time is when I mess around with a design and make a few tweaks of my own ... that I'll see as I stitch and can adjust if necessary.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360314407439787462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24640923.post-91048725191084421212007-11-26T10:37:00.000+10:002007-11-26T10:37:00.000+10:00I say it just isn't fair and it isn't right. There...I say it just isn't fair and it isn't right. There are so many stitchers out there who would love to stitch a new pattern for a designer. And why shouldn't she provide them with the materials to do so!!!! I would think this would be an ideal set-up.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13847173538262166677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24640923.post-74361164399425828232007-11-26T05:42:00.000+10:002007-11-26T05:42:00.000+10:00I think it's ridiculous.I think it's ridiculous.Bronzemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686532165407252714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24640923.post-7217207450101732272007-11-26T03:21:00.000+10:002007-11-26T03:21:00.000+10:00I'm in agreement with you, I really want a stitche...I'm in agreement with you, I really want a stitched finished piece to be shown. That way they know the colors really work in real life, and that the chart and directions are correct if someone model stitches if for them. I can see just having a computer picture for small pieces (I have several LHN and CCN pieces that are like that for example) but they're smaller and I know how they'll turn out. For a large, involved, and expensive project, I'd be very upset if it wasn't tested before I kitted it up. I say they should have it model stitched before it is released, why would I what to take the time and spend the money to do it myself and then give it to them for free and get a chart, which I already had and paid for, in return?<BR/>Suestitcherwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795367484568298951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24640923.post-72693253151794144772007-11-24T11:25:00.000+10:002007-11-24T11:25:00.000+10:00I'v often had this little chat myself!

AND I hate it when you buy a chart and you have to pay extra (sometimes lots extra) for separate finishing instructions (grrrrr) If I buy a chart fo ra box - then I blooming well want a box when I'm done - I dont want to have to go buy another box to see how to finish it (rant over).<BR/><BR/>I agree - it is rare that I buy soemthign that doesn't show a finished stitched model on the chart pack!<BR/><BR/>So the designer will pay you with a chart you've already stitched yeah?

I thought that they got models stitched up before it went up for sale - I mean otherwise how do they find any mistakes or make changes?<BR/><BR/>And in reply to the final paragraph, why on earth would the stitcher of the photo she chooses want a copy of the printed chart as payment when she's already stitched it?!?! Basically she's asking for model stitchers for free, and that's after you've bought your own supplies too! Not on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
