Welcome to StitchLand. These terms cover what you can expect from us and what we expect from you when you use the site. Plain English, no surprises.
Who we are
StitchLand is a project run by Hunter Freeman as a sole proprietor. When we say “we,” “us,” or “StitchLand,” we mean Hunter Freeman doing business as StitchLand at stitchland.com. When we say “you,” we mean you, the person using the site.
What StitchLand is
StitchLand is a community platform and toolset for stitchers, starting with cross-stitch and expanding into all needlework. Today the site offers:
- A waitlist for the upcoming community beta
- Free tools at
/tools/(StitchScale, Floss Library, Floss Estimator) that work in your browser without an account - A growing community area for approved beta members
We’re early. Features will change. We’ll do our best to communicate before anything that matters changes.
Your account
To save your spot on the waitlist or join the beta, you need an email, a username, and a password. You must be at least 13 years old (16 in the EU). Your username is yours alone; please don’t impersonate anyone else. You’re responsible for keeping your password safe and for what happens under your account.
You can delete your account at any time by emailing [email protected].
The waitlist
Joining the waitlist doesn’t guarantee access to the beta. We open new waves on our own schedule based on what we can support. Your queue position depends on when you signed up and how many people you refer. Referring someone bumps you forward in line. We may adjust queue mechanics over time and will explain changes when we make them.
Free tools
The tools at /tools/ are provided as-is, free of charge, and without warranty. They’re calculators and reference utilities meant to help with your projects. Always sanity-check important calculations (especially before cutting fabric or buying floss). We’re not liable if a calculation is off.
The DMC color matches we show for non-DMC threads are algorithmic estimates. Real thread colors vary by dye lot and personal eye. If you’re matching colors for a project that matters, check the actual thread in person.
Community rules
When community features are live, we expect everyone to treat each other well. The short version:
- Be kind. Stitchers help stitchers.
- No harassment, hate speech, threats, doxxing, or targeted abuse.
- No spam, scams, or unsolicited advertising.
- Respect copyright. Don’t share patterns you don’t have the right to share.
- Keep things appropriate for a public craft community. No explicit content, no illegal content.
We may remove content or accounts that break these rules. If your account is removed, we’ll usually email you to explain.
Your content
Anything you post (profile, projects, photos, comments) stays yours. By posting, you give us permission to host it, display it, and use it to operate the site. If you delete it, we delete our copy too (except for short-term backups that age out, and any content others have already saved or quoted).
Don’t post anything that isn’t yours to post, including patterns under copyright, photos that aren’t yours, or trademarks you don’t have rights to use.
Paid features
StitchLand is free today. We may introduce paid features in the future (premium tools, expanded community features, etc.). If we do:
- We’ll tell you what’s paid and what stays free before you’re asked to pay anything.
- Payments will be processed by a regulated provider (most likely Stripe). We don’t see or store your card details.
- Subscriptions can be cancelled any time. Refunds are case-by-case, handled fairly. Email us if you have a problem.
What we promise (and don’t)
We work to keep the site available, but we don’t guarantee uptime. The site, tools, and content are provided “as-is.” We don’t warrant that everything will work perfectly or that the data will be free of errors. We’re not liable for indirect or consequential damages (lost projects, missed deadlines, etc.) arising from your use of the site. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of $50 or what you’ve paid us in the prior 12 months.
This isn’t us being unfriendly; it’s standard language that lets a small project like this exist without an existential lawsuit risk.
Closing your account
You can close your account at any time. We can close or suspend an account if you break these terms, abuse the platform, or threaten the safety of other members. If we do, we’ll tell you why where it’s appropriate.
Changes
We’ll update these terms as the product grows. Significant changes will be emailed to everyone with an account so you can review before they take effect. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any dispute will be handled in the state where the operator (Hunter Freeman) is based, unless a different forum is required by your local consumer protection law.
