Sounds a bit off-putting to me

I have a few patterns on patterndesign. Their review time is incredibly long and they'll find the tiniest mismatch in your pattern, tiny mistakes that I've never noticed myself even though I check each pattern thoroughly. Therefore I am very lazy about uploading there. But for me it's a tiny side income, like an extra 100 Euro at the end of the year for Christmas. Which means that sales are incredibly low compared to other websites, but still enough for me to keep my account. I currently have 38 patterns on patterndesign.

They partner with other websites, such as prinfab.com and uneekee.com (print on demand websites), so you will find your designs on their partner sites too, and if they sell a product with your pattern, you'll make some money.

On the positive side: they're very responsive to email requests. So if you have questions regarding their terms and where they sell your designs, just email them.

Hope that helped

thank you very much to all of you, your judgement was very helpful.

@franzi: patterndesign has a premium section as well, do you know what�s all about. Patterndesign told me, that in this section they would sell their own patterns. Now I wonder, how this patterns looks like. Patterndesign does not want me to have a look at these pattern, which is kind of strange...
Any idea?

Another case when crowds were used then not needed
