The discussion forums are provided as a way for you to ask questions, seek opinions, offer advice, and in generally connect with other subscribers. In order for the discussion forums to work, we ask that you follow these guidelines:
  • Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.

  • Do keep it clean - A differance of opinion between subscribers is acceptable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language.

  • Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.

  • Do stay on topic - If you are going to reply to a post, make sure you are placing it in the correct area. Use the reply button below the original post.

  • Do not post commercial messages. This means don't use the discussion forums for self promotion.

  • Don't spam - Post your message once

  • Don't violate poster privacy - Don't reveal online private or personal information of another individual. If you are asked for a friend's email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.

  • Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it, and don't misattribute a contribution you've made.

  • Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find this site not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly, learn to live with it, or move along.

 TESTIMONIALS
Here's what our members are saying ...


"I have been a regular reader of Patterns Patch web site. What attracted me in the first place was the quaint name. I so enjoy reading their newletters, find it very up todate and easy to read.
 
Another plus for Patterns Patch, is the prompt delivery when I ordered a book - I live in Cape Town, South Africa, and what a pleasure to receive this, sometimes quicker than our own postal delivery service!
 
Another plus factor is their prompt replies to any queries I may have, in fact my most recent one, which is where can I find Florentine embrodery - specifically with regard to a bible cover I would like to do.
 
Patterns Patch are in no way "small minded and unhelpful" and were more than helpful in helping me in my Florentine search.."

"Well done and keep up the good work."

"I think one of the things I love best about Patterns Patch is the sense of community. I know that if I have a question about something related to cross stitch, I can come here and get great advice."

"I also like having access to the tutorials and articles. Oh, and the free cross stitch patterns are nice, too. :D"

"Thanks for the great service, and have told some friends from abroad about you and what you sell!"

"So hopefully you get some more business soon."

"I enjoy every aspect of it. The Articles are always interesting and informative as well as the tutorials are very helpful. I also enjoy the forum very much."
 
"I have no real cross stitching friends and I feel very fortunate to have met all of you. John is very helpful with what ever the issue is."

"The free downloads here are beautiful and they aren't just tiny cutesy designs (if that makes any sense)!"
 
"I have to agree that the sense of "family" and "togetherness" on the board here is awesome! I've come here with problems both stitch related and general...and everyone was so warm and caring and encouraging. It was wonderful to have somewhere to turn!"
 
"The articles are great for learning about new things as well!!"

"I went into your site today and downloaded the new 'King of the Beasts' and 'We Aint No Pussycats'. They are absolutely fantastic. I have started on the big five, but cannot wait to finish so I can do all the others. But will have to do one thing at a time."

"Anyway, they are fantastic."

"There is always something new to learn, and here a Pattern Patch is the perfect opportunity--with articles, tutorials, and very knowledgable members. But the thing I enjoy most is making stitching friends! A friend is a GOOD thing!!!
