How do we learn if we don't share?

That would mean that there are an awful lot of YouTube videos out there that are stealing.....

Stretch out this reasoning to other areas. A certified mechanic couldn't share how to repair something with a child. A chef couldn't share with his staff. A sewing teacher goes to an advanced coutour class but couldn't teach a method in a classroom. Poppycock.

I think our world revolves around sharing. If we can't share our knowledge/joy, etc. then we might as well be a hermit & lock ourselves up in our homes & never venture out.

I teach knitting classes. You're right and she's wrong. Sometimes people have a thought and it pops out of their mouth without examination.

And that thing someone wrote about a quilting pattern being one use only for some designers boggles my mind! Not enforceable, even if it were true.

Great comeback Peckish. Love it.

Replace a new or recently learned quilting/piecing techniques, that is taught to new learners, with modern day medicine, antibiotics, vaccines etc, etc, etc, or any other innovation in modern life that has been learned and taught to others.
Some people are a lost cause to...... whatever the appropriate word is.

Dumbest thing I ever heard. Who’d the quilting teacher “steal” it from?

Years ago, I was in a class where the instructor spent most of her time asking questions about our techniques, ideas and tips of how we do stuff. Thinking back on it today, she was phishing us for her own benefit.

Where would the world be if we never shared anything? Knowledge cannot be unlearned. No one person can own the rights to knowing something. Imagine if Nana had never taught us how to do anything, like bake a cake.
