Yes but only if the product is showing it made up there is way too much AI atm

Buy lots of patterns on Etsy. Beware of businesses using AI to fake patterns

Yes - quite often

I mostly buy it on Ravelry. At least there, we can see if it is a genuine pattern (and not just a fake AI upload)

It's very rare I would buy on some other platform, and only if it's not on ravelry OR there is a big discount hahahah

For cross stitch, I usually buy at b00sty because my favorite designers are mostly in russia, with the sanctions they can't use etsy for patterns anymore

I agree, Etsy is very expensive, the postage gets a bit too much, especially for us Aussies wanting overseas kits and projects.

Sometimes, sometimes not, It's reliable

Sometimes I buy on Etsy. Mostly on Ebay though because the patterns and cross stitch/embroidery stuff I'm after is hard to find elsewhere.

Only very seldomly. Most of the time I buy from ravelry, or I buy books from the designer I'm interested in
