The house rules

Terms and Conditions

A stitching table works best when everyone knows where the scissors are, who owns the chart, and how to treat the work in front of them. These are the friendly rules for using Stitchpad.

01

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details safe and for anything posted, uploaded or downloaded through your account.

Accounts may require email verification, invites, download limits or other access controls depending on the site settings.

02

Your uploads

Only upload files, images, descriptions and pattern details that you have the right to share. Do not upload copyrighted charts, copied designs, commercial files or other work unless you have permission.

Uploads may remain pending until approved by an admin or moderator.

03

Downloads

Downloads are for personal stitching use unless the pattern owner clearly says otherwise. Do not resell, re-upload or redistribute another member’s work without permission.

Download limits may be used to protect the library and reduce misuse.

04

Community behaviour

Reviews, posts, chat messages and private messages should stay kind, helpful and relevant. Harassment, spam, copied content, unsafe links or abusive behaviour may be removed.

Friend and messaging tools are designed to make contact safer and more controlled.

05

Moderation

Admins and moderators may edit, hide, reject or remove content where needed to protect members, tidy the library, respond to complaints or keep the site working properly.

Accounts may be limited or removed if they are misused.

06

Site changes

Stitchpad may add, remove or adjust features over time, including uploads, downloads, points, chat, ads, social login and community tools.

Backups, maintenance and updates may temporarily affect access.

The short version

Share only what you are allowed to share, be kind to other stitchers, respect pattern creators, and help keep Stitchpad a useful place to find the next thing worth stitching.
