Great progress on your wips. I can't understand why HAED doesn't let people continue to stitch the affected chart in the Sal. They should have given the people stitching it the rest of the chart before cancelling the artist contract. When the Sal is finished and those that met the requirements to get all the Sal charts, then substitute another chart then. Bit of a knee-jerk reaction if you ask me. As far as them renegging on their AI stance, it was inevitable with the way things are going. The best thing I reckon the charting companies can do is clearly mark every AI chart as AI. I don't want to be reading the fine print of every chart I buy to see if it is AI. So yeah, clearly marked. Happy stitching. Oh, and I hope your bosses compensate you well financially for all the extra time you give them training people, etc!
It’s very frustrating, they still are doing that chart as the Sal but offered it as a one off purchase for those who weren’t doing that particular one of the ten for the same price that the Sal was offered in the first place. Some people purchased others didn’t. Then they replaced the dragon chart in those that will be given away free with an ai piece….
@stitchincolours Don't know if HAED will do another Sal next year with this cocktail up. We will see. I didn' t join this year. But yes, it's a very sad state of affairs the AI situation.
I was like you…not going to do the flag…and of course it is started and I am taking out the navy blue gridding. Canadian flag only has red and white. Over 600 stitches in a single Quaker! Lot of work here.
Yeah there is a lot of stitching in something so seemingly small. Good luck I hope it goes well for you. I can already say that it is easy to get off the counts and need to frog.
Love seeing the progress on your Wips. I'm also really disappointed in how HAED has handled things. I realized last year that I didn't want to stitch anything that was AI art related, and I had accidentally purchased a couple previously. Excited Rose Khan is going to Paine Free - and I think several others now are going to Unconventional XStitch.
Wonderful progress Jess👍. I've just had to repurchase my UK flag☹️. I wasn't going to stitch it, then I was going to start on 29th February then I started another one and finally I am going to start today if I've got the fabric(luckily got the threads already). AI art should not ever had chance to so called design from the originals. Some designers take hours/days/ months design their charts which of course are copyrighted . Why should people be able to STEAL their designs, it is so unfair, I'm getting more and more angry about it. Your mum started me off lol(although I did see Bluebell from flosstube do her video last year). I hope you will be getting a pay rise or overtime for the extra work the company expects from you. If you left, where would they be? If you don't ask you won't get lol.My daughter's very good at asking for huge salaries lol, she asked for an additional £8,000 a year on her most recent job which she didn't expect to be given......but she got it. The employees get pay rises in April and she's going to ask for one too, which I actually think is a bit greedy, but she is trying for a mortgage so perhaps that's why(better give her the benefit of the doubt lol). I hope you can get a good amount of stitches in, you need relaxation time from work or you may become ill. Take care and safe🤗🇬🇧
Lovely stitching. HAED has made a mess of this SAL as far as I am concerned. They should have just given the whole chart to the people stitching that chart.
They were in a difficult position with that piece being part of the Sal. It’s going to be interesting at the end of the year when people start pro get their reward for completing the 4 pages.
Thanks for your honest opinion on the AI art and HAED debacle. I’ll preface this with ‘I’ve never bought from HAED’ but I think AI art is just not that great, and wouldn’t support a company using it. I know people say it’s license free art rah rah but actually if you feed in ‘cat with a pigeons head’ for example the initial cat and pigeon will have been someone’s art first. It’s way too grey for me, and to be honest a lot of the AI art I see is just plain ugly LOL anyway, glad to hear we will be seeing you at retreat, will be sure to come say hi :) - take care, Nic x
I definitely agree, however some of the ai art I have seen recently has been amazing just disappointing that it is so art. It was an amazing weekend at the retreat. As I’m sure you can see I’m catching up on comments. Lol
