Stitcher's Guild Reloaded

A place to announce changes and report bugs. Generally, any topic that may affect a large number of members.

Artisan's Square Market Here, individuals may post sewing related items you wish to buy, sell, or give away. Please do not post non-sewing related items. Any and all transactions you conduct here are at your OWN RISK.

Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board.

You may visit the "Classic SG" site here. The boards should all be read-only. You may login to your account if you have one, for the purposes of checking and/or printing your private messages if you wish. However, even if discover you are able to do more, please just don't. No posts. No messages or profile changes. No email updates -pretty much no interaction. You may read the threads, and you may post links from there to here to facilitate the changeover to this board. Any changes -even small ones- to that database will hurt our chances of being able to merge it with this one, so please behave there. http://artisanssquare.com/sg_classic/index.php
