My question is when someone starts designing how can one be sure that the finished design doesn't breach some one else's copyrights? With so many designers focusing on the same topics/themes there's bound to be some similarities. It would be awful to design something you believe to be your own to then be accused of copying. Thank you so much for your tips and advice.Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179102619055338858.post-4169280949775770892016-04-18T18:13:04.548-05:002016-04-18T18:13:04.548-05:00I'd really like more info on the business end ...I'd really like more info on the business end of it - suppliers, printing, etc. that you have to deal with. I work in a print shop, so typically what size runs do you do? Are they offset or digital prints, etc? Do you go to press checks or just hope for the best in regards to matching colors of your original piece, etc? Plus, getting your work out there - how do you find distributors and what kind of legal help do you need to protect your work?LaDonnahttp://domesticgeek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179102619055338858.post-3750131174295985952016-04-18T08:25:54.698-05:002016-04-18T08:25:54.698-05:00I hope you'll answer all of the questions you ...I hope you'll answer all of the questions you suggested! I'd also like to know if it's possible to purchase additional buttons and embellishments for your designs, and where I could do that because sometimes I stitch your designs more than once. I'd also like to know how a brand new designer would go about finding a publisher, and then how do you get the word out to shops across the country that there's a new designer out there? Is that the job of the publisher?

Since I don't have a drop of creativity in me and do a good job of following others, and you included, in their design patterns, I always thought it would be nice to mess around on the computer and see what I came up with. I like the question above also about how you make choices on fabric. How about threads and embellishments? Do you keep a good stock of fabrics and threads on hand to match up what you have in mind. To me, that would be the more enjoyable part!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279865400359226554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179102619055338858.post-62302274698929894712016-04-17T08:57:28.783-05:002016-04-17T08:57:28.783-05:00Enjoy your spring break!

How do you choose the fabric company or manufacturer?Robin in Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963664770288800348noreply@blogger.com
