Free Patterns

I thought "Free" was "Free."  The rules say no more than 10 gold coins.  You leave a thank you, and you get your gold coins back.  Thats great!  But I see a lot of patterns that say "free," and theyre not 10 gold coins but 50 gold coins.  Also, why are the ones with no price 30 gold coins to download?  Im still trying to figure that one out.

Yes, the free ones should only be 10 gold coins. If you see a pattern listed that was free for more than 10 gold coins then report the thread to the moderator of the forum. There is a Report button on each thread. Maybe they can research it and correct the thread.

Its hard for the moderators to know exactly which threads are free on other sites they are from.

Download cost per thread is 30 gold coins. That is the forum standard and rule.

I am very selective in the ones I download for that reason.

I generally wont "buy" a pattern on this site for more than 200 gold coins.  ONCE IN A WHILE, Ill fork up the 333 if I cant find it anywhere else online.  I am now seeing patterns for 400 gold coins.  Id rather just go to Etsy or some other site and pay actual money.  Like you, I like to save my coins, too.  But I do like the free ones and will get the ones that are 150.  Like I said, MAYBE Ill spend more if I really want it.

Free means the designer gives his pattern for free,
that does not mean it costs NOTHING on the site
you can download the pattern on ravelry for free

If I am short on coins I just look for the pattern on the web...problem solved. I like to save my coins for something I really want and cannot afford to buy.   :)

I am talking about the ones that are listed on THIS SITE "Free."  The rules are no more than 10 gold coins.  The patterns are generally free here.  Its like a game where you do things and interact to earn your gold coins.  MAYBE youll find them free online somewhere else, meaning you dont have to do anything to earn "coins" for them.  I buy a lot of patterns with actual money.  But not all patterns on Ravelry are free.  I buy from there also.  On this site, from what I understand, designers arent giving their patterns here for free.  I have come across one thread where a designer is demanding her pattern be removed from this site.
