“My daughter was my pattern tester until she lost her baby, which changed her interest. I have had not only one, but a few bad experiences with pattern testing. Either people never get back with me or they get the pattern then get busy and do something else. One tester was awesome to get back with me, edited 3 of my pattern and since she was really good in English AND crochet, I totally trusted her. So I uploaded her revisions unseen for sale and people found mistakes after the revisions. Now what I do is to make the pattern, finish it , put it aside for a month or 2. Then edit it myself with fresh eyes. The indication of the quality my patterns for me now is my repeat customers. You gave me new insights on how to screen and engage testers and I would much rather have tester, than to remain my one man band. Thank you for these excellent tips.”
