Thanks again. Debbie.  I have been looking up stuff on line all day and my eyes are crossed so I took a minute off to work on another pattern for a small project, not quilting.  Started writing and then  had to get the fabric and put my hands on it to make sure I was writing correctly and then decided to verify yet again, I would make it as I went.  I had made it once before but just but the seat of my pants so needed to write it down.

I print my own with a laser printer and 98/28 paper.  With the heavier paper I can print on both sides and not have any peep a boo showing thru from the back side.  Saves paper and also makes mailing pattern cheaper as I use less pages and have less weight per pattern.

Hi, I just joined and I am thinking publishing a pattern I came up with for competition.  I have to get the rights back from them first and then I can move on.  Any suggestions on how to publish and sell original patterns.   Do you print your own or get them printed?

When I have shared a pattern with someone, I always write "DRAFT" in large letters across it.  I also have my name and year visible too.

I agree with Donna...It's a perfect opportunity to have your pattern tested and to get an alternate color way to offer your customers, either on the pattern back or on your website.  You may, on a really friendly basis, ask them not to share this with anyone until you can get it published.  You just never know anymore.

Thanks, Cat Lady. I'll do that.

I would use them as pattern testers.

So what do you do when your quilting buddies ask for the pattern to an original design that you hope to publish sometime in the near future? I have several original designs that friends have asked for, but don't know what that does to the potential publication of those designs. Do I consider them "pattern testers" and get their feedback in exchange for the patterns?

I personally would not post an IDEA of a quilt you are planning on marketing later. Many people don't understand all the copyright rules and it may just open up a can of worms for you. If you post, make sure you kindly inform the group that the design is yours and is copyrighted????? Most will understand but you know the old saying...It only takes one bad apple! Good luck in making your decission. It's a tough one.
