I’m happy to give advice or help you with your projects, when I have time. The Contact or Feedback forms of my main website, www.wintersewing.com, are primarily for the use of my potential upholstery clients. The Contact/Feedback form on this website is for people just need a quick answer about something, or who have questions about how to register, login, or use this website. For most questions, use the following method to request help.

Asking For Help

For people who are looking for help or advice on a project, here is the process. Many of the inquiries I get require a fair amount of time to give an appropriate response. To save my time (so that I don’t have to repeatedly answer similar questions), and to be better able to help others, I prefer the message and responses be posted here on this website so that others also may read them and benefit. To post* your message, you must first register and log on to the website. Here is the procedure. (If you have any questions, please use the feedback form and ask. Clearly explain what youhave done and what the response was, including any error messages.)

1. First and formost (Don’t skip this step!), if you have spam or email monitoring software on your computer, or on your Internet account, I urge you to put “*@winterssewing.com” (without the quotes) in your exception list (or approved email list). Otherwise you may never receive any responses or notifications from this website, from me, or from any one else on this website who may reply to your message. (note: some people may not have spam software so this might not be a problem, but many people do.)
2. After following “1.” above, then register as a user of this website. After you register a validation email will be sent to you with your username and password. (Note, if you didn’t follow the instructions in No. 1 above, you may never receive your email. Note: if you have trouble registering, or never receive your registration email, email me or use the Contact form. I'll register to you manually so you can log in and post your message.
3. Now you are ready to post a message.
   
   1. If you have a general question, ask it in the forum.
      
   2. If you are asking a question about one of the articles on the website, post your comment or question, in the comment form, at the bottom of that article.
   3. The administrator(s) of this website will be automatically notified of your posted message no matter where you put it on this website. Your message will be answered as time allows.
4. Providing you have followed the instructions in No. 1 above, you will be notified when some replies to your message. This website is equipped with a subscription module. Whenever anyone posts a comment in reply to any of your messages or comments, you will be automatically notified by email, which will contain the link to the response message. Click on the link and you will be taken to the comment that has been posted to your message on this website.

*Note: if you have followed all the instructions and are still unable to post the message, send the message to me (using the Contact for or email) and I'll post it for you, then give you a response.
