Do I get pins from patterns I uploaded?

[Copy link]
Post time 2026-1-16 20:27 | Show all posts |Read mode
Some patterns I uploaded have 3 downloads, but I didn't get any pins from them.

If I look at the pattern, it states that you need to pay 100 pins to get the pattern. Or how does this work?
(Wanted to send a mod a private message, but I can't because of my current level).

Some users can download and not pay, like moderators, to check the pdf is ok.

Moderators shouldn't need to download for free. I've not uploaded a lot, but don't you have to wait for the post to be approved before it's even available on the site? They should be checking the PDF'  Details Reply Post time 2026-3-8 10:14

mods always download to check the pattern is good. when paid, you will get 30% of pin price :)

No, you get 70% of the pin price. 30% is tax for the site.  Post time 2026-2-18 19:33
