  • Sew Fast Sew Easy was a corporation based in the Garment District in New York City, that is best known for sewing classes, sewing patterns and sewing books. It was founded in 1991 by Elissa K. Meyrich, a designer in New York City's garment district for over 26 years, an instructor at Parsons School of Design, and an author and contributing writer to sewing publications. Sew Fast Sew Easy classes were part of a resurgence in traditional home economics enabled by networked technologies including Internet chat groups and digitally-adjustable patterns. The company created NYC's first Stitch and Bitch group in 1997. The company started an Internet guestbook, the Stitch and Bitch Cafe, in 1998. A controversy around rights to the phrase "Stitch and Bitch" then arose. In 2002, Sew Fast Sew Easy registered a service mark designation for "Stitch & Bitch Café." However in 1999 a knitting group calling itself "Stich ‘n Bitch had been established in the East Village by knitting book author Debbie Stoller. In 2005, many sellers on Café Press who created goods using related phrases received cease and desist letters on behalf of Sew Fast Sew Easy, who filed for a "Stitch and Bitch" trademark related to sewing goods. The website freetostitchfreetobitch.com was formed shortly after, urging crafters to boycott and protest Sew Fast Sew Easy. Stoller filed a petition to cancel Sew Fast Sew Easy's trademark application, arguing that the term had been in use previous to 1998. The two parties settled in 2008. Sew Fast Sew Easy ceased operations in December 2012. Brands marketed by Sew Fast/Sew Easy included: * Sew Fast Sew Easy sewing classes, books, and patterns. * Stitch & Bitch, and Stitch & Bitch Cafe sewing and knitting products. (en)
