Hey @SimplySewing_ I like to make you aware of heavyhandesness and rudeness by your magazine admins who run a what seemingly looks a general page on Facebook for fans of @sewingbee #gbsb and #sewing in general, but clearly is not. 1/n

Your admins remove posts from sewers using patterns from other sources claiming their post is Promotion of other magazines, supposedly breaking page rule 10. Even posts critical of other sources’ patterns was deemed promotion🧐... 2/n

I then wanted to post feedback on why my post had been removed, and what my view is on ‘promotion’ in general, but this not even reached the Fb fan page as blocked from the outset by your admins whi seemingly are unable to cope with genuine community feedback 3/n

Since then I have learned about many more disgruntled sewers who were blocked for no reason, or had community posts about sewing with other patterns removed. 4/n

Needlessto say I feel very disappointed☹️ about @SimplySewing_’s out-of-touch approach to the #sewing community, their experiences and their voices.
I have now joined a more #inclusive @sewingbee #sewingbee #gbsb Fb fanpage that is agnostic of pattern brands or magazines.
5/5
