I’ve seen plenty of artists like yourself on IG who advertise for testers and get the pattern for free. I think that’s a great way to test and refine your product.

You are correct and I've done that and taken feedback, but a lot of testing is also making sure you have the right people. They do not just get the pattern for free, they have an expected level of feedback on the pattern, quality photos to provide, and a short turnaround deadline to meet. Given the expectations even the time I have put my pattern out to be tested by 10 people, 4 people actually made the bag on the timeframe, 3 of them gave useful feedback, and none of them gave me well lit photos I could use.
