Community rules & banner update (lemm.ee)
submitted 2 years ago by thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee to c/lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
5 comments fedilink

It’s somehow been three months since @IoSapsai@lemm.ee and I agreed to take over moderation of this community, and we’ve not really had to do anything other than keep an eye out for reports. It’s not exactly been a taxing job, so firstly thank you stitchers for being so undramatic!

But that all happened while I was still super ill and to be honest most of November and December is like a weird fever dream. So I kind of did not do the one thing I said I’d do at the time: post some prospective community rules.

Basically what I’m thinking is we want to have something written down that we can point to just on the off-chance of misbehaviour, but at the same time we don’t need anything draconian or super specific while we’re so small.

Since I’ve already been through this process with !knitting@lemmy.world and there are even quite a lot of people here who are in there too, I think it makes sense to maybe start off with similar rules to the ones the knitters agreed and then diverge if we need to.

Main concerns over there were:

  • encouraging people to add pattern info to their posts and
  • making sure we have a rule in place to allow removal of ads

On that second point, it was generally agreed that active members of the community should be free to advertise their shops and products in context, but a complete stranger barging in to post a straight-up ad and then leave should be removed. Basically kind of vibe-based, depending on if you look like a spammer or not, which works fine for a small community tbh.

I’d love to hear from community members on this. Are you ok just following the template from /c/knitting for now? Is there something more specific to us you’d also like to see included in the official rules? Or do you maybe disagree with one of those two things above and want us to rethink?

Input very much welcome, thank you!

—

And for a bit more of a fun thing, we have a random community banner and icon that I guess the original owner just googled on the day and never thought about again. In /c/knitting I made a banner featuring some recent FOs that had been posted by the most active members, and that was pretty popular.

I’d be happy to knock up something similar for here, but also want to throw it open in case anyone else would like to give banner design a go! Maybe we’ll say if nobody else comes up with something by the end of March I’ll go full collage mode with our FOs, that gives time for a few entries if you fancy it?

We'll also need an icon and I did not make the knitting one so am officially looking for ideas of what we could use. Actual images, vague concepts, all assistance welcome!

Thank you for bearing with this wall of text. Now get back to stitching!

Feel like the castle could look better with a little less color. Maybe I'll give it another go one day.

A no AI, no pattern mill cross-stitch pattern search engine - designed by Creators & search by inventory! (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by ClickStitch@sh.itjust.works to c/lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

Hey everyone!

Myself along with a few cross-stitch pattern designers have partnered up to create a free platform for searching patterns!

A lot of what we see on websites like Etsy are full of AI and our aim is to have a 100% no AI, no pattern mill search engine.

Search for patterns here: https://clickstitch.app/patterns

These are some of the stand-out features, some may differentiate this platform from others that may already exist:

Patterns by Independent Cross-Stitch Designers

All Creators are verified before they are set up that they do not use AI to create patterns!

We have a few Creators already set up, more to come in the future!

Here are the shops for those currently set up:

Search by Inventory

Find patterns based on threads you may have in your inventory!

Direct App Integration

A one-click feature to instantly start tracking progress when choosing a Creator's pattern!

Fuzzy Text Search

Search by a pattern's name, theme or Creator, the search engine will find the closest match!

This is a new part of the platform, all questions and suggestions are welcome!

Feel free to join the Discord!

Thank you :)

Preferred Drawing Tablet for Embroidery Design? (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 months ago by NewPerspective@lemmy.world to c/lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
3 comments fedilink

My wife has had a Baby Lock embroidery machine for a few years now. She also has the Floriani software that'll let you convert regular images into embroidery patterns the machine can work with. Now she wants a drawing tablet for creating and modifying designs.

She uses her machine for everything from clothing to 3D interlocking decorations. I can hear her machine going right now in the other room making shadow boxes for Christmas.

What drawing tablet would you recommend?

She has a dual boot Windows/Mac MacBook so I'm not too worried about compatibility. She doesn't have a particular model in mind and says she's open to ideas because she hasn't looked yet and doesn't know what to expect. The only requirement might be that it uses a stylus. She asked for something basic: "color fills/lines and easy editing." It's for Christmas so I can't ask her too many obvious questions, that's why I'm here hoping you'd have similar needs/wants.
