Alan (the owner)often seems as if he's got a stick up his...well...you know the rest of that saying....but he's done well to keep the board to business and spam free. I've learned a lot there from the more seasoned members, and I often find answers for folks here on Needlebar...guess if that makes me a bad person for supporting them, then so be it... But it has been agreed with the Admin, Moderators and I not to mention that site on this board for several reasons and that is really the only rule I have other than we all have fun and make this a place we all want to come to!

You share the info. HUGS Why I have my issues with what must not be named is for this reason. At one time I could just google the info, and since the site was "free" the info would show up. That was last fall when I was young at collecting and naive( still am naive, but that is another story) as to what groups were out there for vintage machines. Then one day, that freedom was gone. I tried googling for info only to find that the site wasn't open any longer, which frustrated me. I like to contribute and share- and I do here and on my blog. The machines will out live us and for some strange reason they have a way of finding their new steward. And not all new stewards want to be members of all the machine groups just to find info on the machines. |
Don't misunderstand...ISMACS, in my opinion is the better choice..."The "N" Word" (happy Billy?) is just easy for me to check...
Wait..am I not supposed to mention ISMACS either? ;) and hugs back @ Monica |

I pictured the coffin top sitting on top of my dining room table with my Halloween ghosts. I don't have time to make a Halloween quilted table runner for this Halloween, but I will have one done for next year. And my Singer VS2 will be used to make the runner. |

Not a "snit" but PatriceJ and I have already talked about this last year or maybe the year before but the Admin does not want their name mentioned at all because of the bad blood between Alan and I. And they have had a few folks snooping over here to see what was being said about them and reporting back to Claire and Alan. I do not have time for BS especially theirs and their snooty museum ways. Hopefully we will not have to have this come up again because I really do not feel like dealing with it anymore. Billy |
Then don't...and actually, they have a LOT of folks that are members here...and to cut off what could be a valuable resource for those reasons is wrong...
