Don't know Sharon but learned about her issues with this website through her other son who taught her how to do patterns on her computer years ago. Why not ask the computer wizard to fix the problems. Why ignore his offers to assist and help people who have been scammed. Seems quilting is all there is to do during lockdown. Quinn Michaels is live on youtube waiting for Sharon to respond right now.

Just a thought. If you paid by credit card and have not received what was promised, can't you challenge it through the credit card company and let them deal with Neil? Just a thought.

You are exceptionally kind. I require an apology and a refund. On second thought - just a refund. And I certainly would NOT purchase anything from her daughter's site. Karma karma karma.

I found some wonderful embroidery module in-the-hoop quilting designs by Sharon you can purchase on Cristy's site. You can also buy many of the videos that were on the network individually. It's a real shame. That was a wonderful site until something, whatever it was, happened about two years ago. i fortunately did download everything I had access to before the blow up, but I wouldn't buy it again unless they fix it and run it fixed for a sustained period of time. I don't think it's Sharon. I think it's something to do with her son who [poorly] runs the network site. Nevertheless, it's a big disappointment since I learned so much from Sharon's videos back when the site worked.

Update - this past week more videos were downloaded and some with patterns! However the patterns I have asked about have not appeared on the site and Neil has not responded to my questions. I'm letting it go.

Happy Stitching

When the site was up and running we had a choice of downloading everything. Wish I had done that. She still has a lot of classes on utube. Don't know what the problem is but wish her the best. She is a dear of a person. So sorry for us and them that there are problems. I think she is going digitized with the vanderludens. Bought the prodigy it will soon arrive.

Today I heard from Cristy- the daughter.

"I'm so sorry. I really wish there were more I could do to help.

Have you heard back from anyone yet?"

Oh Brother! Makes me want to scream! LOL

"My son owns it" is a load of ....garbage (took me a while to find a "nice" word). Shame on him, shame on her, shame on them!!!!!!!

Family operated businesses can be tricky.
The perception is that it has Sharon Schamber's approval since it has her video's on it. Neil had to get them from her or Gene since he does the video taping.
All I can say is thank goodness for honesty with TQS.

OMG - received this today.

Hi,
I have forwarded this to Neil Atkin (Sharon's Son) who owns and operates the network. Hopefully with my prodding, he will get this taken care of.
Sorry, but thats all I can do.
Gene

You are right - it is the Neil Network! Oh Brother

Another email sent to Sharon, Neil, Gene (the husband) and Cristy.

The one thing I was taught is that the only thing you truly own is your reputation. It should be zealously protected even against family members if necessary. Hopefully, no new subscribers have joined her/Neil's network.

I don't know if I got a year's worth out of belonging to the Network or not, but Internet fraud is just that. Maybe if you have a receipt, or date you signed on with a credit card, the credit card company will help. Many of Sharon's videos are now on Youtube for free.
