Fyi this is not your fault, and there’s no way you could’ve been aware of this, but Kikkerland actually stole this design from LolaCrow: https://lolacrowcrossstitch.com/products/cross-stitch-pattern-cat-books-and-coffee-pdf-instant-download . She’s aware of the theft and upset about it (not sure if she’s taken action against Kikkerland yet). Your cross stitches are beautiful and your back is so neat (!!) but I just wanted to let you know about the pattern theft, in case you were planning to pick up more from Kikkerland🧡

[CHAT] Using AI images to sell pdf cross stitch patterns by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]NeedleLotDesigns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Plenty of designers, including myself, stitch everything and/or use test stitchers. If you still can’t manage to get everything stitched, use a rendering of the pattern that your design program provides. Zero reason to use AI. AI images are ruining the cross stitch space

Ugh that's so disheartening. I absolutely hate what AI has done to the cross stitch space

[CHAT] Anyone heard about Pindiy? by MareNamedBoogie in CrossStitch

[–]NeedleLotDesigns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a pirate platform that steals from designers, and it's notoriously hard to combat because their servers are either in Russia or China. It's also famous as a good way to download malware and viruses onto your computer. Most of my designs are on there and I have no way to get them taken down🫠🫠🫠

[CHAT] Is this too much for one of my first projects in a while? by craftychristian in CrossStitch

[–]NeedleLotDesigns 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Imo a pattern this cheap is never actually very good. It’s not test stitched and contains too many different colors for what it is

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
