'Skitch PP1" launched 2 weeks ago, Brother already altering skeezy Proprietry app restrictions:

"Some of the feedback around Artspira was the inability to import your own designs in the FREE version of the app.
We’ve heard from you and are actively updating Artspira to ensure all users can access this feature. Starting on November 30th, users of Free version of Artspira will be allowed to import any design and store up to 20 designs in Artspira (add and remove the 20 designs as you wish!)"

@Faintdreams I believe I speak for everyone when I say... 🤦‍♀️

@Faintdreams I was relatively okay (though trying to manage things over mobile instead of desktop is boneheaded when you’re talking embroidery) until the mandatory subscription.

“Piracy cant be stealing if paying for it
isn't owning.”

@Faintdreams ugh. I've been thinking about getting an embroidery machine but that's a huge nope
@Faintdreams What?! No, absolutely not!!

@Faintdreams

Well fuck a whole lot of THAT
