Let's discuss the intent / direction of this section

[southernbelle04]

Well I prayed about this last night and I completely understand the new rules. I can see both viewpoints and certainly don't want to rub anyone the wrong way. I will still post my 2 favorite creations if the week each week and that will be enough for me. I just love the fashion forum and I hope it will stay hopping. Looking at the creations others post is very inspiring to me as well. After talking it over with Him and myself, I came to the conclusion last night not to let it upset me or start a fuss. I am not offended in any way by any of you guys. I understand the concern and don't want to push the boundaries. I just love YT and I hope we can all continue to have just as much fun! Happy Sewing y'all! See ya on the forum!

That's why you are so sweet and gracious Aymee. I am so glad you are a member of this forum

I'm hearing a rather consistent theme that 2 finished items may not be the correct number. I'm not saying let's change it right away, but, what do people think is a happy medium (and fair) in terms of amount per the 1 thread per week?

No one has a goal of taking anything away from anyone. The last thing we'd ever want to aim for is making people unhappy. The goal is to find a happy medium - and to do that, we have to tweak this section. Nothing we do will satisfy everyone, that's an impossible goal. So please, be assured that we're trying to find a middle ground here...a middle ground where those who have concerns are balanced with those who have no concerns whatsoever. A fair middle ground is the goal.

Ann,

In all of my ranting I forgot to mention that I know your job is hard as a moderator and I think you do a great job. I will let the experts chime in in the amount of items to post per week but I appreciate the forums willingness to be flexible

Since four pictures is what can be uploaded in a single post, why not set 4 as the limited?

I was not one of the complainers, but I truly can see their point.

Aymee, you are a very sweet and special lady and I'm glad you have found peace about all of this. Honestly, my feeling on this has nothing to do with you.

Ann, you do a wonderful job trying to keep everyone happy, my hat is off to ya, Lady!

I was about to post a reply to your question, Ann. Then I read this post. It basically is word for word what I was about to type. lol

OMG! This is like jealous girls in high school! If you aren't interested don't click on it or read it or buy it. I couldn't follow all the "rules" being laid down if I tried (two per week versus ten per week versus how many in each post ) Geez... Just sounds like a bunch of crab apples who can't create as well so they want to pitch a .......

I don't believe it has anything to do with being jealous....not on my part, anyway.

Plus, there are only two rules for this section...not hard to remember and follow.

I think you and others have missed the real point here. Take a look at the Sellers Forum and read the rules.

I don't see much of Aymee posting in that forum....yet she is selling items to YTers. Someone already posted that IF Aymee cannot post all she has been in THIS forum, then she is not going to read this forum BUT will continue to purchase items from her. Speaks volumes...people are purchasing from Aymee based upon her posts in this forum. While she is not posting those exact items on her Esty shop, she IS selling them as special orders. I don't care personally because I am not in competition with anyone...I just think the lines have been very blurred here.

While maybe not intentional, this is circumventing the rules all sellers abide by on YT.

I have always been a bit afraid to post what I sew on this forum because I did not want it viewed in a way that I was attempting to advertise. This way, if there are rules, perhaps all people who sew on YT will feel a bit more inclined to post their items and share their ideas.

I think that the admin and mods are simply trying to make rules for this forum that will work. It's a relatively new forum and this is how things work ... have to work the kinks out sometimes and I don't think that anyone is trying to be mean to anyone...or immature and high schooly as some have suggested.

I agree! I know it has to be tough being a mod but I admire you for it. Thank you for being so easy to work with! You are surely appreciated on YT!

As for the number, I think the idea of 4 is great since that is the # of photos were allowed in one post but if 2 is decided, that's ok too.

I lurk this forum - I don't post on here (I don't sew) so I cannot contribute to the threads other than to ooo and aaaah (lol) but I think it's completely natural for people to see something they like and ask if you could make them one too.

I hope you change your mind about not posting anything. Variety is always a good thing!

I totally agree here! And although I did not mean my postings as advertising I can completely understand that they might be viewed that way. And I agree that is wrong and against the rules, but I did not see it that way before I knew that it was upsetting others. But again, I can understand their point of view as well.

Me too! I'd love to see your creations!

I am not a very creative person when it comes to sewing dog clothing. I have one pattern that I use and that is it...some variations but not much. Most of what I sew is for YHR and the dresses sell like crazy at the dog show in Houston each July. I rarely post the YHR dresses on the Sale forum because they just dont seem to attract that much attention.

My point was the because the rules from that section were so ingrained in my brain, I felt a bit awkward posting them here. With the new rules in place, I will not feel that way ... I know that if I post them, no one is going to be jumping up and down wanting to buy them. hahah....But..as I said, I felt awkward about it and won't now. I also hesitated because I hate when people say something is wonderful when it is ugly....I would rather they ignore what I post. When I posted one dress I actually said that...please don't say you love it if you don't.

Í know there is a picture forum, but I think this forum should have more pics of dogs in clothing whether it is purchased from a YTer or elsewhere. For instance, I bought PJs not long ago with a tutu skirt...they are darling. I really need to snap a pic of them so that you all can see....might inspire someone to make them.
