However, in your slow times it might be worth writing out the instructions from your notes so that they are to hand should you decide to publish. It may also be worth having a chat with other etsy sellers who have sold pattern books and see what their thoughts are on cannabilism from their shops.<br /><br />I see you mention this topic time and time again, so it strikes me that you must get a good number of enquiries which means there's a market out there!

Most of us can follow a pattern, few of us can design (I am of the latter group).<br />A possible stress easer: think of the notes you have written and make a "master note". Then, when you see a copy, you don't have to compose. It will make the process easier for you, less time consuming.StringyDogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525731128063173119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751285215938850138.post-57876631804587177182013-05-08T23:24:07.225-07:002013-05-08T23:24:07.225-07:00I understand what youre saying, but at the moment ...<br />I understand what youre saying, but at the moment you have no legal ground on which you can say to someone not to sell things they made on basis of looking at what you have on etsy. And if you try to hunt them down youll become a bigger wrack only cuz you wont succeed... but!!! :-) one thing i can advise you, sit down, think through, and think of a little thing,a stich, your "signature" which you will bound to your work so it cant be copied.. one thing that will be related to you and that mark you need to authorize. <br />Good luck, cuz you do bring life to this beautifull handart, i say, anybody can crochet, or knit, but not tatt:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199109611986283664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751285215938850138.post-67962859492115635872013-05-08T10:12:32.730-07:002013-05-08T10:12:32.730-07:00I agree with you.

If people are ignoring that, they need to be called out. If they didn't know about it, they need it pointed out, or they'll keep doing it to you and others.
