Community Guidelines

The Seam Rippers Club is a community for everyone who loves fabric. That means you: you are welcome here, and we are so happy to have you join us!

You must be over 13 years of age to create an account.

These guidelines apply to all sections of the Seam Rippers Club site, including but not limited to private projects and collections, public comments and reviews, and the forum.

We expect everyone to treat each other with respect, but we will not tolerate intolerance. This includes intentional misinformation, conspiracy theories, and targeted attacks on any person or group of people. Expressing views that are hateful or harmful to others will get you banned.

Hate speech includes sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, body shaming, ableism, or other derogatory treatment of a group of people. It includes support for public figures who express such views.

Harassment includes repeated derogatory comments in response to or referring to another person or group.

Because we are sewing garments, we often post pictures of ourselves or other people wearing them. While commenting and complimenting others on their makes is great, keep comments on people’s bodies to yourself.

Comments about a person’s size, gender presentation, advice to change their body, or insults of any kind will be removed, and the commenter may be banned.

Our platform is for sharing garment photos, which sometimes results in pictures that are NSFW (not safe for work) or not appropriate for younger readers.

However, gratuitous nudity or pornography are not allowed, and photos may be removed at the admins' discretion.

Spamming and cross-posting to multiple forum threads may result in posts being deleted, or a forum ban.

Promotion of non-profit or commercial organizations is only allowed in specified forum threads. Unless a thread’s description specifically allows promotions or asks a question that your company/product/service can help answer, your post will be removed.

These things may be visible to any other Seam Rippers Club member:

• Comments, reviews, or forum posts that you write
• Photos and their notes that you post to The Needle's Eye
• Projects and all of their saved details (unless you set the Project to Private)

These things will not be visible to any other member:

• All contents of Projects that you set to Private
• The Measurement details of a public Project, when you set the Measurements to Private
• All details of the contents of your Collection (fabric, notions, patterns, measurements, etc.), except the name and image included on a linked Project page

None of your content will be public to non-members or used in marketing material, unless you give explicit permission.

You will not share private communications with other members without their permission. The only exception to this is sharing messages with an Admin or Moderator, to report a violation of these guidelines.

We try our best to keep out bots and non-human users, and we appreciate you reporting any such accounts to the admin.

AI generated users are also not permitted, and we will try to keep out all AI users and content.

To report a problem with the site, suggest a change, or to make a complaint, email us at hello@seamrippers.club.
