Anyone recall the threats after enticements from Marlene to make her a Taggie replica 2 years back? They are still using the ploy on another sewing/craft forum that you have to be a paid member of. My daughter has been aware of it for a few weeks now.............bringing us up to a FUNNY discovery.
We are in an area that has Hancock Fabric store. We were there recently & picked up a free brochure about using fleece & fleece gift items. Guess what??? Pictures & instructions to make a "Ribbons Of Comfort". Our take-along fleece blankets have small loops of ribbon stitched in the seams to provide babies with tacticle & visual stimulation.
People have had their listings pulled from e-bay recently because of Taggie's complaints, I mean with "proof" of Fisher Price having one out in the early 70s too. Wonder if Taggies will jail us for copying Hancock's directions? I still have never seen a true genuine Taggie. Remember, I got my directions from a phone conversation describing a homemade one to me by a non-sewer.
When I was required to respond to the allegations, I told them they needed to be getting their own fabric & ribbons that were not things available to the general public or they would never have their own item not being replicated.
I wonder what part of their profits go to their patent attorney? what they pay the ones who search online sites? the ones who attend craft shows, coast to coast, looking for them in booths? I guess that's why they have to charge $30 + s/h for something that can be made & shipped for way less than $5 each.
Anyone want Hancock's directions, contact them for Fleece & Gifts 2005, Hancock Fabrics Inc, One Fashion Way, Baldwyn, Mississippi 38824
This will be interesting to follow & see what happens between Taggie & Hancock. Booklet says you can teach from the publication but you can't make copies w/o Hancock's permission.
