I think I could put together a nice collection of patterns.
But what would be the best way to approach this. I've thought about starting my own site or working for somebody else. And then there is putting all my stuff in the Pattern Depot. I like the idea of doing the pattern depot because the patterns are protected against distributing or reselling to others. Can I put stuff on the Depot and also sell on my site too?
Any advice is well appreciated.
I do that now. PM me with an e-mail - I work on donations, (I give the patterns
Before I get any cash - I believe in Jesus) I give donations to the forum - some times
I get money in return; I have had a few people pay $50.00 for a pattern I include the PTN, MPW, MPN, and the + and - Grayscale image and a Screen Print of the MPC, some times I get nothing. I save all my patterns on CD/DVD's I have more than 5000 patterns since I started this in 2007, some of the first ones are not very good, most of them I have removed from the forum. More of them may need removing; I try to get better every day. BJB
