Fashion incubator is a forum for independent seamstresses and sewing enthusiasts to share tips for running their own businesses and maybe sharing job referrals, etc. The problem is that it’s run by someone with a strange kind of complex.
Firstly, in her forum, she disappears posts. That by itself is enough of a no-no, but at least she’s within her rights to do so.
Secondly, when someone dares question her about it, she deletes that post and starts attacking the person.
Thirdly, she starts going after the questioner and attacking the questioner’s business in an attempt to discredit her.
All this under the guise of being a place you can turn to for advice on growing your business.
Kathleen Fasanella of Fashion Incubator is someone to avoid. If you want to grow your home sewing business, you’re much better off doing it yourself. At least you won’t have the person you think is going to help you trying to destroy you.
101 Dead Armadillos has lots of data on the kind of tactics Kathleen Fasanella uses, including smearing people on Del.icio.us. It’s despicable and she needs to be called out on it. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.
