I stumbled across an image of a beautiful quilt on Pinterest, and clicked back to the source, which turned out to be a professional longarm quilter's blog and web site. I am currently working on my free motion quilting skills, but someday if/when I make a Queen or King bed quilt I will be looking for a longarm quilter to finish it for me. I saw so many examples of breathtaking quilting on this person's site that I would hire her in a heartbeat, but I was disappointed that I could not pin any more of her quilts to my Pinterest file. She must have added that code to her page after the image I found had already been pinned. Anyway, it is her right not to allow her images on Pinterest, but I agree with you -- she's missing out on a lot of potential business by opting out of Pinterest completely.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-63003414075957650932012-06-27T10:59:32.926-07:002012-06-27T10:59:32.926-07:00Wow...that is an excellent post about Pinterest! ...Wow...that is an excellent post about Pinterest!

Finally, a review without all the "Wolf!" alarms. I feel they have been very proactive in addressing the concerns about copyright. Clearly there are a variety of ways to protect ourselves and still be able to enjoy the fun and relationships available through this new site. I love Pinterest and have found it very useful - recipes and tutorials, not to mention quite a few laughs!Teresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-67130314315071157522012-06-26T07:58:15.300-07:002012-06-26T07:58:15.300-07:00I had an account but deleted it.

I download tons of patterns (which I won't live long enough to do), but can't tell what they are when they are in a PDF format. With Pinterest I can see what things are, which was a huge plus for me. I don't share copywritten things, I don't profit from things, and I would like to think the rest of the world is the same, but sadly it's not. I will continue to use it, for my personal use. Thanks for the info. I look forward to more on the subject!Calicojoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796145323746252678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-49761816256765141932012-06-26T06:40:46.707-07:002012-06-26T06:40:46.707-07:00EXCELLENT Post!!

I'm so glad that they decided to take the copyright policy more seriously as a provider of this service.

At first it bothered me that others pin my stuff then I just thought who cares. One day maybe I will get into it but I fine the computer takes up enough of my time already and I don't really want it to take up any more of my time. I am at the stage with the computer when I feel that being on the computer/phone/ipad you name it is starting to take over people's lives and we need to back away and interact with people more - face to face then on the computer.<br />KarenKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-42330621645137428792012-06-26T04:41:54.071-07:002012-06-26T04:41:54.071-07:00Excellent post.

I use it to track future possible quilts and tutorials. I try to always credit properly - etiquette but also so I can find the original myself. You forgot to mention the hazard of how much time you can lose by spending time looking through pins. Very absorbing and inspiring.corkcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476768594585852456noreply@blogger.com
