I also have a fake account. For all the same reasons mentioned above, although I tell my kids I am on the lamb or in witness protection. But I follow the custom fabric groups and independent sewing pattern groups on there. When the group gets drama filled, I leave the group.
One of my daughters called THIS site MY Facebook. Which might be true. I love seeing what everyone is stitching up, toys buying, patterns finding, lessons learned, patterns used, and tutorials followed. Ha!
