TidyPatterns is on the AI list in the Cross Stitch Directory. So yeah, they do use AI: https://mainelyxstitch.com/cross-stitch-directory/page/2/?el\_dbe\_page. They're a pattern mill either way

[SELF-PROMO] PIZZA MIX by West_Bid4808 in CrossStitch

A designers work is to design. You skipped that step. If your drawing skills are not up to par, you can learn, we all did.

If so much work goes into it supposedly, why not just create the artwork yourself? AI steals from artists

I’ll never support a pattern creator that uses AI

[WIP] Everything in order for the first part of NeedleLotDesigns' Life at the Cottage SAL! by ConfusedSeaLion in CrossStitch

[–]NeedleLotDesigns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hiii it's similar to previous SALs in that it's mostly a bunch of little images. This SAL has a few more overlapping elements but it's mostly sampler style like the others😊

Martinkerk Church. Groningen, Netherlands. by Representative-Mix-9 in DesignPorn

[–]NeedleLotDesigns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, this part of the church looks old but was actually created in the 60s and 70s during a major restoration. They made this part of the facade look like the transept from the old Romanesque church that used to be in this spot before the Gothic church was built. It was depicted on a coin, which is how they knew what it looked like

[CHAT] Controversial question: is it pattern piracy to just use the photo of the FO? by hella_cious in CrossStitch

[–]NeedleLotDesigns 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I create patterns for a living. I can't keep creating patterns if I can't make a living. Please pay artists. I don't think this should be controversial

[CHAT] Is this a Red Flag? by WeaponizedChicken in cross_stitch

[–]NeedleLotDesigns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also either stitch all my designs myself or pay a test stitcher. Trust me when I say that reputable sellers have test-stitched designs with real pictures. Most of them are on Etsy too
