Please keep all photos related to the topic of textiles. Use free websites that host personal photos such as flickr.
9. Abbreviations, colloquialisms and slang are often difficult for anyone who has English as their second language. So please avoid them.
10 Use the groups for more specific discussions. Any member can create a group. Discuss it with the community first to see if there is interest.
The group moderator is whoever started the group. The moderator needs to monitor the group and keep it going in the original stated direction.
