Ok. I’ve been wondering, what do you look for in a paid pattern? I’ve thought of making my patterns paid (my Toasty Frogger), when I realized I need to build a rep, and sorta a fan base in a way??? What would I have to do? Make it a big pattern? Include lots of photos? Keep it really cheap? I was thinking of making a jumbo Toasty Frogger, but that would be a lot of work, plus it’s always good to have money. Would you pay for a pattern like that? My only worry is that a lot of people say they can’t spend money on here.
(Would you buy the Jumbo Toasty Frogger?)
- Yes
- No
- I can’t spend money on Ribblr

yk how when you open up a pattern it shows you a bunch a images, it’s good to put the tester stuff there
Also your photos are really good! Natural light is the key. Just maybe try to keep the subject more centered

I guess. I like to have multiple styles of photos (holding, sitting, laying), but as it starts to get cold here (I live in Alberta, Canada) photos with greenery gets really hard.

For paid patterns before I buy I look for photos of multiple angles of the item, a good pattern description, multiple reviews (nice but not 100% necessary), and quality of photos. If you draw on your photo it is an immediate no from me. They distract from the product and look childish/unprofessional.
Inside the pattern I look for process photos, especially of assembly instructions, clear instructions with notes for extra explanation if necessary, and the pattern should have minimal typos.

I do spend money on Ribblr, but only if I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to design it freehand it myself. In a paid pattern, I look for lots of his reviews, tons of photos, clear descriptions, all materials used listed, possibly videos linked, ect. I also look to see if they have a free pattern as well that I can get to see what their style of pattern writing is
