Dear Mevag,
I think it’s really sad to only review patterns when there’s money to be won.
Reviews should provide as meaningful an assessment of patterns as possible to give potential buyers an overview and show designers whether the pattern was good or if and where there might be room for improvement.
I’ve done my part and written reviews for the two patterns I purchased that still needed to be reviewed. Both received 5-star reviews, which can now help other users when they’re deciding whether to buy them.
As soon as I finish a project, I rate the pattern—I think that’s only natural.
These giveaways are really nice, but they also mean you end up seeing a lot of reviews that say, “I haven’t made this yet,” which of course aren’t helpful.
Hi everyone,
I’ve bought a ton of patterns. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any time last year to actually try any of them. That’s why I haven’t written any reviews. It doesn’t help anyone if I just write that the pattern looks good.
And yes, I feel guilty about it.
Have a great day, and please don’t be mad at me.
That’s why you don’t need to feel guilty at all—because that’s exactly what we designers want. Thank you for handling this this way. I hope that this year you’ll be able to carve out a few small pockets of free time to pursue your hobby. It always helps me unwind immensely when I can spend at least a few minutes a day doing crafts. But sometimes, unfortunately, that’s not a priority. Don’t let yourself get pressured—just enjoy it when you find the time.
Warm regards, Karola
I always try to rate a pattern as soon as I finish a project. It just doesn’t always work out.😒
So sometimes I end up rating two or three at once.😊
While I’m working on a project, I take notes on what I like or what doesn’t quite work for me. I can then include that in my review or message the author directly.✒️
