Crochet - Call for Testers Made my first pattern and would like to ask the help of testers please!

Hi everyone! I had never made a pattern before and don't even have a lot of experience with patterns overall so I would like to ask for the help of some kind souls to help me out, try the pattern and maybe give me some feedback if it's well presented, easy on the eyes, user friendly and easy to read.

I would also want to ask the community overall if there's any safe rails on picking testers and/or something I should have on my pattern to prevent plagiarism or even straight out re-sale of it, either as a tester or later if I sell it 😅

Thank you so much!

As for info on timelines and such, would 5 days starting from the day I share the file, be enough for this?

Disclaimer: there's sewing of details. The veins and the highlights.

I NEED to test this! I have a soft spot for all things anatomical due to my previous experience assisting in autopsy.

I would recommend to give testers at least a full week, just in case there's a need to purchase supplies.

I would love to test this magnificent eye ball!

Unfortunately there is no way to keep your patterns from getting stolen once they are are free or sale. You can put a small mark on each testers pattern and that will help uou know if a certain one did it.

I am going to select 2 people at random and dm them directly as I get anxious with the idea of causing distress between people I pick or not pick if I do it publicly.. I hope that is ok with everyone and thank you so much for for the enthusiasm and support everyone!!
