Terms of Use

Last updated: 8 May 2026.

By accessing and using the CuttingSewing website (cuttingsewing.com), you agree to the terms described in this document. If you don't agree with any clause, please don't use the site.

1. About CuttingSewing

CuttingSewing is an independent digital publication dedicated to sewing education. We publish articles, guides, and tutorials on sewing technique, patterns, machines, fabric, and projects, primarily for home sewers.

2. Nature of our content

Content on CuttingSewing is for educational purposes only. It does not replace professional instruction (formal sewing classes, tailoring training) or product safety information from manufacturers. Sewing involves sharp tools and electrical equipment — always follow your machine's manual and supervise children working with sewing tools. We do our best to keep our content accurate and current, but pattern grading, machine specifications, and product availability change. Always confirm details with the original source before purchasing supplies, cutting fabric, or starting a project.

3. Limitation of liability

CuttingSewing is not liable for:

  • Outcomes of sewing projects undertaken based on our content (a finished project's success depends on the sewer)
  • Damage to fabric, equipment, or finished work resulting from following our tutorials
  • Losses or damages from use or inability to use the site
  • The content of external websites linked from our articles
  • Errors, inaccuracies, or out-of-date information in our content
  • Actions of third parties, including fraud carried out by impersonators of CuttingSewing

4. Intellectual property

All content published on CuttingSewing — text, images, branding, layout — is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. You may:

  • Share links to articles on social media or other sites
  • Quote short excerpts with proper attribution (site name + link to the original article)
  • Print content for personal, non-commercial use

You may not, without prior written permission:

  • Republish entire articles on other sites, publications, or networks
  • Use our content in commercial products
  • Modify articles to create derivative works
  • Use our name or visual identity in any way that suggests partnership, endorsement, or unauthorized authorship

5. User conduct

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Attempt to break into, attack, or compromise site security
  • Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to mass-extract content
  • Deliberately overload our infrastructure
  • Use the contact channel for spam, fraud, or abuse
  • Violate any applicable laws while using our site

6. External links

Our articles may include links to external sites (pattern publishers, manufacturers, reference materials). We don't control those sites' content and aren't responsible for it. A link is not an endorsement.

7. Advertising

The site shows ads served by programmatic ad platforms — primarily Google AdSense and partners. These ads are selected automatically based on multiple factors and do not represent editorial opinions of CuttingSewing. We are not responsible for products or services advertised by third parties.

8. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated at any time. Material changes will be flagged by the last-updated date at the top of the document. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the applicable laws of the publication's jurisdiction. Where consumer protection laws of your country of residence offer stronger rights, those apply to the extent required by law.
