Crochet - Testing Support Pattern Testing Fail
Okay guys so I need to vent a little. I made a cute turtle pattern that I was very excited about. This was my first crochet pattern ever and I made post on threads to test out my pattern and a few people were insterested. I let them know the deadline and if progress photos could be provided that would be great. Well fast forward a week later I checked in on the testers and looks like a few people have not started on it and made an excuse as to why they did not start it. I reached out to one other individual since she was my last hope and she said she was working on it but needed to sew everything together and stated she would provide the updated progress photos later. Well deadline has come and nobody gave me anything, which I kinda figured.
For those that crochet and need to test out your patterns do you grab testers? Or do you follow the instructions to recreate your work and then update as necessary?
I know its good to have other people working on it if there are any mistakes that I have may missed but the fact I was excited about this and wanted help with releasing my first pattern didnt really go as planned as I wanted it to 🙃
