Cross Stitch Message Boards
Is there a message board out there by a well-known cross stitch pattern designer where she rants and raves…?
about people selling her patterns on E-Bay, or even the finished projects and is ticked because there’s nothing she can legally do about it? I keep reading references about her, but can’t seem to find the message board.

www.ebay.com under reviews and guides by http://myworld.ebay.com/wyvernkd/ Apparently wyvernkd is extremely angry about people stealing cross stitch designs and selling them on ebay.
I kind of understand her anger, but not how she is expressing it.
If you look up her reviews and guides on ebay This seller has two guides (listed above) that complain about copyright infringement.
As for a cross stitch pattern maker or designer on an open forum

Here’s another huge copyright forum…but I cannot tell who started it.
This is a tough question.
There are SO MANY people out there complaining about it it’s absolutely Crazy??? I hope people really aren’t stealing ideas, because I have a few out there on different blogs…
Sorry I couldn’t do better for you.
Good luck with this question.
Blessings to you!
