B) Watermarking doesn't stop the bad guys. I've seen pictures with very recognizable watermarks on those sites, and I've seen people ignore them and purchase the product anyway.
It's absolutely infuriating.

How do you watermark a quilt picture?
I did some "digging" around and found a few QB members quilts, and even one of Jenny's from MSQC, on their site. The site that I found my quilt on had a different name, but same layout and description.
I think it will be a good idea to start watermarking our quilt pictures that we share on here.

I was sickened when I read the beginning of this thread Watson…I’m sure you felt so violated and frustrated. I’m glad you pursued it and that the website has taken your beautiful artwork down. I’m sure it was exhausting and emotional and hopefully it wont’ happen again. Good thing your friend recognized your work.

sadly our copyright laws do not mean anything over seas...NEVER post anything on the web without a watermark! and unless you want to stay yours only, do NOT put it on the web..even in these groups, FB, pinterest...it is fair game to be stolen!
