If they want to put it on a quilt and sell it, they should be able to do so. If they want to then sell it, they should be able to do so. I'm with the designers and Fandom Stitches though. They have never spent THEIR time designing something, digitizing, drawing, using whatever program whether it is computerized quilting program, embroidery program, cross stitch, needle point, crochet, knitting, other needle work and fiber arts, photo type program to get all the graphics and text correct for your instructions, and etc. They haven't had to get testers to test the product in one or more formats possibly one or more times, made edits to the process and start again testing, and possibly do it again. They have no clue what is truly involved in the process of making patterns/designs. As a former embroidery tester and an embroidery digitizer, I for one, am so thankful for all the hard work you all do and generously give. And I will always be willing to test for anyone--although I still consider myself a beginner paper piecer (my family doesn't, but I do), I am always available to test if someone needs something tested. It's only fair that as much as I appreciate what YOU give that I can GIVE back some of my time to you to test.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431914667614125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940496632640528740.post-60092807555745642972015-04-22T11:21:52.162-05:002015-04-22T11:21:52.162-05:00So sorry about dishonest people. When I show what...So sorry about dishonest people. When I show what I've made, using Fandom pattern, I try to include a link back to Fandom, so that others can make it themselves. I do this with patterns I've purchased, too. Honesty is the best policy in all things.
