This subreddit is intended to connect pattern designers and testers.
Pattern designers can feel free to offer whatever they'd like in exchange for feedback on their projects as long as they follow Reddit's rules (https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy)
Testing guidelines for pattern designers and testers:
*Designers will post a request for testers (feel free to post outside links for testers to follow to apply) including a photo or the finished project and deadline at the minimum (see guidelines at the bottom).
*Testers will reply to the call for testers using whatever method the Designer requests
*Designers should, but are not required to, update their original post calling for testers when they have enough people.
*Testers are encouraged to post questions, progress photos, and provide support to each other. By posting photos you agree to allow the Pattern Designer to use them in their final pattern, website, or promotional materials.
*Testers will provide feedback to designers for their use in the final Pattern.
*Designers MAY post the final version of their pattern (or links to where they can be purchased) if they choose, but are not required to. Please tag all testers in your post.
*Testers and Designers should keep in contact with each other. If a tester is unable to complete a pattern test on time, a designer may send an invoice for the cost of the pattern if they choose.
*Most importantly: Let's have fun!
