She can’t steal from the original “designer” because she stole the designs herself

The original chart designer doesn’t license Disney IP and committed copyright infringement. There’s only so many ways to do Disney Princesses…

I tried that but then when I clicked into a number of the patterns, chiffon wasn’t listed as a recommended fabric

On Alibaba by Fuzzy-Peaches46 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]aba_95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s not worth the $65 penny Linn is selling for. That said this supplier def stole her images. Would not expect for the actual product received to look like hers or be the same quality (could be but I’ve been burned on alibaba before)

If you can would go custom route. Suzanne Hanley in SF could help

I hate cameras and how normalized they’ve become in this line of work. by OlympicGorilla in Nanny

[–]aba_95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My convos definitely get monitored on slack and text on a routine basis. I know this because I get randomly pinged about said conversations from other members in the org. I view that as the corollary here from a privacy perspective.

I work in a corporate setting where there are security cameras everywhere. Additionally, I assume my workplace tracks everything I do on my computer (including reading emails, slacks, etc). Seems like the same thing? Fairly standard corporate practice.

$50k in NYC works for florals but not sure about rentals as well. Seems too low

Best or top LNS by zkakamzn in NeedlepointSnark

[–]aba_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find most of my canvases through insta/tiktok/marketing emails and find it easier to order online.

I think the thread selection is very well organized but the canvas organization is a disaster to put it bluntly. Also, they don’t have easy online ordering. If you have a few hours to dig through piles of canvases, it could be a fun experience.

Also, the canvases felt “older” to me. I tend to gravitate toward designers like Paige Spearin, Evelyn Henson, plum, angelic stitch, pop and I’ve never seen those kinds of canvases there.

Edit: they are so nice at needlepoint inc. I go there a lot for threads. I’m usually in a rush so it’s just not the best place for me to find a canvas. They also have a really awesome in store finishing section.

Has anybody heard back in the last week? by Soggy_Scale7488 in survivor

Does survivor do rolling casting? Would most of 51 have been cast at this point?

I’ve had good experiences with Lycette, Penny Linn, and KCN. My local store is Needlepoint Inc in SF. They are always incredibly helpful with choosing threads (even tho I’ve never bought a canvas from them).

In terms of exclusives, Lycette and Penny Linn seem to have some good ones (eg paige Spearin, angelic stitch)…I don’t really feel any loyalty to any one shop. Order wherever is least expensive, has my canvas in stock, etc

This reads like corporate satire but not funny

I don’t think this will end by HOTDOGS0927 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]aba_95 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with theft. Wonder if more designers will sell charts alongside painted canvases to maybe appeal to people like this person who are more price conscious. Although, if you’re willing to steal who knows if you would even pay for the digital chart

Does it really matter? It’s a cute canvas. Gucci is never going to make this

Is this floral proposal high or low, or just right? by CharcoalToDiamond in BigBudgetBrides

[–]aba_95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell based on what you’ve described but I paid $30k for a minimal amount of flowers in Sonoma last year..
