"I like sewing my own clothes because I can make them one of a kind. No one has the same as I do. I can alter a pattern to the way that I like it, add to it or take away from it. That is the fabulous part about sewing. The dress that you see me wearing in the pic here, I made. It was a Halloween costume."

These are nice. I also sometimes put a bit of magnet in a pincusion. A little extra insurance against pins falling out, and handy for picking them up if they do.

I like the idea from mjcuddihy 2946336 of using magnet instead of a washer for the weight.

so cute. Instead of using a washer, if you glue a magnet to a piece of card stock then the batting, you can store them on your refrigerator!

Sharing Your Own Images

Who can share images?

You! Anyone who is a registered and logged in user.

What should I share?

Please share images that will help other visitors. For example:

Images that highlight a article's features ("Here are the controls on this music player", "See the clasp for this necklace", "Look at the box this came in")
Images showing someone using a product ("Here I am wearing this scarf", "Install the ink cartridge here")
Images related to a topic ("My dog Skipper", "A great outfit", "Our family at Yellowstone", "How to glue a chair using a cabinet clamp")
Images that show how a product performs ("I took this picture with this camera", "This shirt shrunk in the wash", "The saw blade after 100 cuts")
Images that give a sense of the size of the product ("This refrigerator is actually 6' tall", "A cellphone the size of a credit card")

Do include captions for your images. While not required, they provide context for your images. Additionally, you can use the Image Notes feature to highlight one or more interesting areas in your image. Everyone will see your notes when they roll over your image.

What shouldn't I share?

Behave as if you were a guest at a friend's dinner party: please treat the Prime Publishing community with respect. Do not share:

Profane, obscene, or spiteful images, or any images with nudity
Images to which you do not own the intellectual property rights
Images featuring phone numbers, mail addresses, or URLs. You can watermark an image with copyright information.
Images featuring availability, price, or alternative ordering/shipping information
Images featuring external Web sites, contests, or other solicitations
Any personal information about children under 13
Images with automobile license plates that are prominent and easily read (pictures with license plates that have been fuzzed out or that otherwise cannot be read are acceptable).

The same guidelines apply to your captions and notes.

What image formats and sizes are supported?

We support JPEG, GIF and PNG images. Files must be no more than 1MB. Both the image height and the image width must be between 60 and 3500 pixels.

Instead of uploading an image, can I just enter a link to an image?

No, all images must be uploaded to Prime Publishing. This ensures your image is always available.

How long does it take to upload an image?

The time varies depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the image file. For a 400KB image, for example, you should expect 2 to 4 minutes over a 56KB modem and under 1 minute for DSL or cable modem.

Where will my image appear?

Generally your image will appear where you uploaded it: in the article image gallery.

Who owns the images I upload?

The rights owner of the image continues to own the image; uploading your image to Prime Publishing does not transfer ownership.
