If they are a big business trying to run the indie business under the bus, and you accept advert money from them to be on your website, aren't you in the same boat? Just a question.

But after reading Urban Threads' response, I think she put herself into deeper dookie. I hadn't yet read these original posts about the likeless of the sites, but it's undeniable. She tried to argue that these are very populur figures, but there are many popular hip things in society, and the aren't directly posed the same way or obviously conceived by the pieces from Sublime Stitching. I'm a big fan of Jenny Hart and I'm really sorry she's going through this. She's the one that got me into embroidery in the first place! “Pretending to be indie” I could give a rat’s ass about.

A copy cat company such as this will not have any success as news like this travels fast but it is disappointing to hear. I adore sublime and even have her book.
