It depends on the project. For straight lines I like the traditional way (the ladders) for curves and such, the closed loops keep you from getting holes.

Have you ever listened to the "Frozen" soundtrack?

Thank you.

@@JessieAtHome I haven't had this issue myself, but now I want to apply for a trademark for my company name.

@@EandVEntertainment It wouldn't be a bad idea. It's not the cheapest thing, and you have to keep it up (I think there's an every 6 year thing?). You don't have to keep a lawyer on retainer. I do, I choose a monitoring plan with my TM lawyer. Every quarter they send me a report so I can see if anyone is getting close to or crossing any lines, and then if we need to move forward from there we can. Even if you don't trademark it, make sure you have proof of when you started with it and such. If someone else manages to trademark it first, you can still contest it and get their tm removed and then get it yourself if you can show that you have more rights to it (you'd have to talk to a lawyer to figure out exactly what would prove that). Also - I'm so proud of you and all you and E have built together. I always knew you were amazing. <3

Thank you. I've known about her since she started, it took this long because I didn't want to do it. But she pushed too far with the Amazon Storefront and I couldn't look the other way any more.

Thank you. <3

She did know I had the name first, she seems to have thought that it wouldn't matter. But the fact is: only one person per URL, and I had the name first, so I want the URLs on the socials.

I agree. I didn't want to have to call any attention to this at all, but her followers started going after me and I didn't want you all to think I was doing what they were claiming (taking her name from her, as though she had it first).

I agree. I was hoping her followers would see that, but sadly, some did not and chose to call names anyway.

A CROCHET CHANNEL WITH LESS THAN 13,000 SUBS AND ISNT IN THE SAME GOODS AND SERVICES NOR HAVE THE SAME THE SAME URL, TWO , THEEE, FOUR PEOPLE, CAN HAVE THE SAME CHANNEL NAME AND YT ALLOWS IT. I CAN TAKE YOUR VIDEOS AND USE THEM AS EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AND WHAT, ITS LEGAL. BUT WHERE IS THIS SO CALLED BLOG? YOUR CHANNEL NAME ISNT SIMPLY JESSIE AT HOME, AND THAT WASNT THE NAME IN 2008. LYING ON A FORM LIKE THAT IS ILLEGAL. TRY HIRING A REAL TM ATTORNEY AND NOT JUST SOMEONE THAT PLAYS ONE ON THE INTERNET. MAYBE ONE DAY YOULL GET CLOSE TO HER SUB COUNT

And you have done the same thing! She said it was her fault

Thank you. I doubt she would have gotten the TM if she had tried, because I would have shown up as having the brand name first. My TM lawyer did tell me (for any future TMs I may want) that even if someone else gets the trademark, if you can prove you have greater rights (or some legal terms here) then the TM can be taken from the first person and granted to you. I had no idea about that before!

​@JessieAtHome the lawyer you found and paid off the internet? It took you six years to send her one and file for a "trademark"? Lol Apparently, you don't know how the trademark law works. Her name was simply Jessie at Home, yours was not. Your "blog" isn't simply Jessie at Home, Jessica . She still has five years to appeal your trademark. She has made substantial more money than you by using the name, she's in a different genre than you on YT and your YT URL is different. Which YT does allow btw. You were mad that your lonely lil crochet channel was getting the traffic you needed , so you thought I'm gonna stick it to someone with a higher following. The letter you sent her, she should have just threw it in the trash where it belonged. It would have cost you $$$$ in litigation, she could afford you, could you? But sense you put that little circle by your name , that you're so proud of, let's see how big it helps your channel grow now... Jessie, which isn't even your legal name, her channel will continue to grow and the reaction channels will have a field day.. I may change my channel name to Jesse @home

@@SouthernMess dang so much dislike for a woman you've never met or know anything about. Why can't we all just be civil? This is an issue that should stay between the 2 people involved.

@@handmadebybubby well she has that distinction for a creator that built a brand around cleaning and organzing. But it's ok, because the OG simply Jessie at Home, her sub count is growing.

www.indielaw.com/ Trademark # 7359584 www.jessieathome.com/ I pointed out in my video that if she thinks she has more rights to my name than I do, then she can always apply to take the TM - that's totally legal, it just won't work. My birth name is Jessica, but I've gone by Jessie since middle school. Though, honestly, my legal name could be Samantha and it wouldn't matter for the TM. The thing I do regret is that I didn't do this 6 years ago. It would have been so much easier and less upsetting for her. However, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and hoped she wouldn't continue to use my name throughout other social channels. Unfortunately, she did. Then, she had Amazon change her default store name to MY brand name, because she got there before I did, and that was the last straw. She got the C&D because of her continued actions that have caused confusion with my followers and sponsors across social media. This goes far beyond than KZbin, as my brand is across many social channels, and in print around the world. As for the C&D - it is a kindness to send one first. I would have been completely in my rights to start off with a $150K law suit. I choose to go the kinder way. I did not talk to her "woman to woman" as she put it, because I didn't know her and wanted to be sure I was protected. That's what lawyers are for. I had no reason to believe she would be reasonable about it, based on her continued use of whatever variation of my name she could get every time she joined a new social media channel. When you choose a business name, if someone else is already using it, this is the chance you take by not choosing a different name.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you. It's a lot of time and frustration I didn't want to have to deal with. But such is life. <3

2010 - that's when I opened this channel. Every story has 2 sides. My brand started in 2008. A "woe is me" video does not always give the facts. What is happening right now IS karma.

@@JessieAtHome She changed her Title and she STILL pops up first when your title is typed in. Whatever you tried to do, it didn't work. Good luck, because jealousy gets you nowhere.

Actually, it is working. I'm getting my brand name back, and that's what I wanted. I hope her channel continues to grow. KZbin seems to be her main channel, while for me it's just on of many eggs in my basket. So I hope her KZbin channels grows in ways that she ends up with many of those nifty plaques they send. As long as she does it in such a way that doesn't use my brand name that I've had since 2008.

⁠@@JessieAtHome​​⁠She specifically says in the video that it’s her bad; she also tells people not to feel bad for her. She’s just telling her followers that she got a cease and desist letter and had to change her name. If you didn’t want someone to respond to your letter you shouldn’t have sent it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
