View this email in your browser Time for another Tech Edit Tuesday tip. I'm going to continue on with my love affair with Google Suite.       So one of the great tools available to anyone with a Google account is Google Forms. The two things that I highly recommend using Google Forms for are tester call sign-ups and feedback forms.  The benefits: Forms are easy to set up.  Information can be viewed on the form directly or in a Sheets view that can be stored on your Google Drive (which is my preferred reviewing method). The response limits to Google Forms are very high and will be able to see them all. For example: if you receive 80 responses to a tester call, you will see all 80 responses, rather than being cut off and only being able to see the first 30 or so.  You can copy previous forms (tester calls or feedback forms) and tweak them to the new pattern - pattern name, sizes, etc. This saves you time and effort, and also allows for your forms to be consistent.  If you're unsure about using Google Forms, don't hesitate to reach out, I'd be happy to help you sort it out!  Congratulations to Laura for releasing her North Cap Cardiana this last week! This is a pattern that can be a cardigan or a ruana depending upon your preference. It's size-inclusive, made in two panels, with sleeves and the hem added after. The stitch patterns used for this pattern mirror the Captiva Crop, including my favorite detail - the hem! Make sure to check out the hashtag on Instagram #NorthCapCardiAna - to see all of the tester's versions of this great piece!  Follow Laura on IG Purchase North Cap Cardi Ana via Etsy Purchase North Cap Cardi Ana via Ravelry Congratulations to Sarah on the re-release of her TTK Crop top  this last week! I had the pleasure of helping Sarah by moderating the chat for this pattern test. This top is amazing - size-inclusive, top-down raglan, with a "bobble necklace" along the neckline and the best bobble hem. Everyone's color choices were on point!  Make sure to check out the hashtag on Instagram #TTKCropTop - to see all of the tester's versions! Follow Sarah on IG Purchase TTK Crop Top via Etsy Purchase TTK Crop Top via Ravelry Happy Tuesday, y'all! Well, it's official, I return to my "day job" this tonight. While I'm sad I didn't hit all of the goals I wanted - finishing the grading course and finishing the website being the two big ones - I am happy I was able to put forth the effort to both goals, as well as meet some big ones personally and heal. I will be working an overnight shift for the next month, so my chat moderation available will be slightly different.       Just as a courtesy reminder, I will be going back to completing edits on my weekends (Sundays / Mondays) and limiting my chat moderations. I am still projecting all of my edit turnaround times will be probably around a week or so, though I can work to make something sooner if necessary just let me know.  If you ever need someone to talk to about a design idea, help with reviewing a submission, or working through the design process prior to going to the publication tech editor, I'm here to help you in any way I can to embrace your dream of being in print!       Also, if you see any submission calls anywhere, feel free to shoot me an email or a DM and let me know so that I can include it in the next newsletter!  MoorIt Mag has an open submission call for both patterns AND articles/essays for their Spring/Summer 2022 edition.  SUBMISSION DEADLINE: TUESDAY JULY 13, 2021, midnight BST   MoorItMag.com Submission Call Follow Moor It Mag on IG This particular submission call deadline has been extended to Monday, July 19th, which is reflected below.
