Hello Jennifer!! I welcome you here to Steemit which is truly a wonderful plattform! There is a learning curve here but once you get the hang of it you’ll be hooked!
As a few others have said it is really important that people know you are a real person here on Steemit! If you go look up other posts under the #introduceyourself tag you’ll notice a lot of them have a real time photo of themselves holding up a piece of paper saying Steemit, and the date etc. This lets the community know right off that you are a real person and this will help you get more support/followers. Also for DTube it would be really beneficial for you to start some fresh videos telling us more about who you are and what you like to do as well as showing us some of your sewing work and creations!! 😃
Another great thing to do as @apanamamama has mentioned is to get involved with groups with like interests as yourself. Steemit is all about community and support...you give support you’ll definitely get it back. Mingling and commented on others posts is a good way to start gaining valuable relationships here. We have some that just share their posts and not give support back. This is looked down on as we all should be contributing and encouraging each other.
I would love for you to join us on Monday’s for #NeedleWorkMonday. It’s a weekly initiative I created where us crafters can get together to share our ideas and passions as well as support and inspire each other. My specialty is crocheting but any one who does needlework art is welcome to join us. We have sewers, crocheters, knitters, needle felt artist, cross stitch, embroidery, upholstery etc. you name it! You can click on needlework tag above and see some of what we share every week.
Once again welcome aboard and I hope you have such a great experience here! Feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions. I’m on Discord so you can message me any time there as well~ 😊
Appreciate the welcome! VERY new here - how exactly do you participate in #NeedleWorkMonday?

Absolutely! On Monday you post a project or something you’re working on that is in progress and use the #NeedleWorkMonday tag as one of your five tags so we can easily find your post! We love seeing projects that are in progress because it’s fun seeing how they come together. Some people post week to week about the same project until it’s done. You can also post archived projects if you have pics of them.
One of the main things about our Monday group is that we promote support. Even if you don’t upvote other’s posts a comment of encouragement or feedback goes a long way. We would love to get to know you better and learn from you as well as you learning and picking up tips and ideas for others. You can also share patterns, shortcuts etc. So any Monday that you want to join in we’ll be there!! 😊
