So.... back in January of this year we started a private FaceBook page for our customers and it's been growing steadily since then. If you're already a member, thank you very much and if you aren't a member yet, I guess the obvious question is.... why?

1- Facebook recently changed their algorithym AGAIN, and the result was and still is that many of you just aren't seeing our posts on a regular basis anymore. So... we created this closed and private group for customers who follow us. This means that only those who are granted access to our group will see our posts, AND, because our members have joined our group by choice, they will automatically see ALL of our posts. No more missing a blog post or a discount code for YOU!

2- YOU get the opportunity to post pictures on this page! How cool is that, right? Maybe you've just completed a bag and just want to share it with someone! You could show it to your hubby or your neighbor, but let's face it, they very likely don't understand the work or the love you've put into it! But what if you could upload a picture and voila... could get immediate accolades? Would that be awesome?

 

3- YOU get the opportunity to post a question and get an almost immediate response from experienced sewists just like YOU! Because let's face it, you might be in the midst of sewing and have a question about a step or a supply item? You could email me, but it might be after hours, or I could be away from home or out of the country and unavailable to answer the question! But now you can pose the question without having to wait until I'm available!  Wouldn't that be great?

 

So... does this mean we're abandoning our old FaceBook page? Not at all!             How could we ever turn our back on 196,000+ loyal followers? But out of necessity we do feel its time to change some of our emphasis to a platform where we can be sure our message is actually heard! We'll continue to post on our FaceBook business page... though definitely not as often as we once did. Our Wednesday videos will still be there and we'll still post announcements & specials there, but if you want to be sure to actually SEE all of those things, I would suggest you give our new FaceBook group page a try!
