Am I aloud to post tester calls on here but not post the pattern onto my shop? Like if I need testers for a pattern that Iām going to sell on my Etsy shop? I was wondering because I donāt know if any other places that you can easily find and let people test your patterns.
Iām not sure, but that is an interesting idea. To make use of the testing features on Ribblr, you would probably have to actually make it as a pattern on here but just not release it. I have seen people make tester calls on Ribblr for patterns on their Instagram, but Iām not sure how that works as I donāt have Instagram. I think that it would be fine, but like Iām not completely sure and like I said in order to have people be able to actually apply and test on Ribblr you would have to have the pattern here as well. You could also use Instagram as a place to find testers, but again Iām not sure how that would work. Good luck!
Ohh yeah I meant I would make the pattern for people to test on here, they would still be gifted the pattern on here. But I would release it to the public only on my Etsy after I made it into a pdf. I know other people use Instagram but I also donāt use it.
I changed the topic to support so @Ribblr can help and it makes a little more sense because you are asking about something you donāt know about. But I honestly donāt know
When you make the test, you should let testers know that you wont be publishing the pattern here. Since you would need to gift it to them for them to get karma.
Sorry, I just saw your older comment saying that youāll still gift it. In that case, I dont see why it would be a problem. I know some people dont release patterns at all after testing
You can create the pattern here & still host your tester call & gift the pattern to testers. Just let them know that. And when testing is all done. You dont have to post the pattern āpublic on ribblrā. You can just keep the pattern switched to off & only you will see it under your patterns in the shop! So then if you want to you can recopy the pattern & sell it on etsy instead
Now, if you already have a pattern written up somewhere else. And you need testers, I would suggest writing up a post asking for testers, and the photo of the project; put it in the tester category. And who ever comments they would like to test. You can select & put them in a group chat & send them the pattern in the group chat. But then testers wouldnt recieve karma because youre not testing on ribblr. Hope that makes sense!
