Affiliate & advertising disclosure
StitchAid is free to read and is funded in two ways, both of which are required to be — and are — disclosed plainly.
Advertising
Pages may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Advertisers do not see our content before it is published, do not influence what the guides say, and ad placements are marked. Ads only load if you accept the cookie notice.
Affiliate links
Guides include “Helpful supplies” boxes linking to relevant products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, the site earns from qualifying purchases made through those links. This costs you nothing — prices are identical with or without the link.
Editorial rules we follow
- Supplies are listed because the fix genuinely uses them (a lint brush in a cleaning guide, ballpoint needles in a skipped-stitch guide) — never the other way around.
- No manufacturer, retailer, or advertiser has paid for placement in a guide, supplied review units, or reviewed content before publication.
-
Affiliate links are marked with
rel="sponsored"for transparency to both readers and search engines. - Where the honest advice is “buy nothing and see a technician,” that is what the guide says.
Trademark note
Brother, Janome, Singer, Schmetz, and other brand names mentioned on this site are trademarks of their respective owners. StitchAid is an independent site with no affiliation to any of them.
