How disgusting. They weren't Chinese/Japenese were they? A blog friend brought to my attention a site that is stealing tutorials and claiming them as their own. My needlecase was one of them. My friend and I contacted as many of the people that we recognised their tutorials and they have since been removed but her site is still there. If you want to take a look you may notice some more that I cant recognise.I will send you an email with the link...hugs KhrisKhrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318399656260019333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-74824672704579260522009-10-05T05:55:16.342-07:002009-10-05T05:55:16.342-07:00Well, less than 24 hours later, that shop is empty...Well, less than 24 hours later, that shop is empty - glad to see them exposed...and hopefully the sales that were there are refunded.~Michelle~https://www.blogger.com/profile/04891637374696344976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-85726123749182756752009-10-05T05:29:53.154-07:002009-10-05T05:29:53.154-07:00Ugh, that is bad!

I emailed the seller about this since there was absolulty no way she had the same valance because my mother made mine. She felt that since they were similar she used my picture. After a long battle with ebay I had to prove the picture was mine and they suggested I copyright (Too expensive) or water mark my pictures. We are in a sad state of affairs when people think they can steal others work and feel no remorse about it.<br />I am glad you are blogging about it.

Theft, is theft, no matter how you wrap it up. This is one of the reasons why I only sell paper patterns and not PDF. It makes it so easy for someone else to either steal the design or forward it on to their 100 or so friends and you don't benefit from it as the designer. Glad to see that he/she now has no items for sale in his/her shop.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757554177443434903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-70016157862013920542009-10-04T13:02:13.913-07:002009-10-04T13:02:13.913-07:00That is horrible!

I have used patterns and ideas I've found on blogs for sewing projects before, but I try to always give credit where it is due and to rip people off by selling something that they could get for free is just awful! But as they say, "You reap what you sew." (pun intended) And they won't get away with it for very long I'm sure before that old saying applies to them.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570052669027349279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-27655215366683142472009-10-04T12:18:41.601-07:002009-10-04T12:18:41.601-07:00Can you believe the gall of some people?

And it's usually done by the same people who would make the loudest stink about it if this were done to them.

But I have a question: If you make something from a free pattern, are you not allowed to sell the finished product? If you buy a pattern, are you allowed to sell the finished product that you make? I guess I am just clueless about these thing. Although, I did know that you should never try to sell a pattern you got for free.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731276173410889180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-41279955568381564852009-10-04T11:21:05.349-07:002009-10-04T11:21:05.349-07:00Wow that is sad and pathetic.

I'm sorry they don't have enough creativity to come up with their own designs. However, stealing is never ok. They stole someone's hard work and ideas. I know that when a blog owner decides to put up a pattern they're giving us a little piece of them. I view it as a sharing between friends. For an outsider to come in and try to profit is wrong.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050953687712439019noreply@blogger.com
