~Stich 'n b***h clubs have existed since, well as long as I can remember. The phrase has gone back at least to the 80's when I was a kid and is commonly used to describe a group that gets together to sew or knit and socialize. However Sew Fast Sew Easy seems to think that they were the first to coin it in the late 90s, trademarked it, and are bullying stitch 'n' b***h groups across America.
It isn't right, and it's just plain low down.

Well, that too. But still, it's like when celebraties copyright tagwords and expect other people to pay to use them. It's just stupidity run wild.

What's really silly is that they're suing for "Stitch'n'b***h" when they only have the copyright on "Stitch and b***h" just because it's too close for comfort. *rolls eyes* So alllll the local Stitch'n'Bitches have to change their names because of this legal delimma. It's so dumb.

I was reading about this a couple of weeks ago. Apparently the first Stich and b***h groups were around in the 60's.
Since Stitch and b***h isn;t the name of their business, why the hell do they hold copyright?

I'm thinking boycotts and countersuits would put them in their place. Or sewing fish into the seats of their cars. Nobody ever looks under the leather... twisted

I agree, I like fish too much to use them like that. I wonder if we could hot glue them (the execs) to their car seats? twisted
I believe that boycotts have already been called for. I shall have to go see what they sell so that I don't accidently buy their products.

I was sure they were even around in the civil war era but I figured it could have been my imagination playing tricks on me but there were some zesty ladies then. The earliest I knew for sure though was when I was old enough to know about clubs and things, as a child, in the 80s. And I didn't want to make a fool of myself saying things that I didn't know.

Eh, I'm glad I don't buy knitting/sewing/craft books anyway (I can't read patterns when it comes to knitting and I don't like to sew). People are stupid. And greedy.

I can't really do knitting patterns also.....they seem so difficult because they do all those anagrams and you don't really know if your doing it right because they don't give you a close up picture of the pattern.
I love to read those Stitch'n' b***h books they're cool and I found some at me book store and they had cool patterns in them....but thier too complicated for little me

AccentualWolf Yeah, but the fish don't deserve that kind of punishment. Poor fish crying biggrin crying biggrin Wait, see I'm into the whole pro animal rights thing so I know how to get around this. Fish die every day, it's just a fact of life. Now it may take a little longer to wait for the dead ones, but it'd be worth it! xd >.> I guess it probably makes me twisted that I've thought that far into it... but in general I'm just against asshatery.

Whose "brilliant" idea was it to let people copyright this sort of phrase? You can't copyright book titles--why is this any different?
