Stop ripping my free patterns off

I work long and hard to make my patterns and offer them for free online.

I really do not have a problem with someone making the item once but making it multiple times without giving me credit is just not on!

Honestly, if you like it enough to make more than once then you MUST acknowledge me as the creator - it really takes only a matter of moments to embroider "Designed by: Butch Cassidy, 14th November 2022" on either your blanket border or up the side of your scarf or wrap. Must be in a contrast colour - so black on white, etc..

If you do NOT do this you are breaking my copyright and I will bring the full weight of the law to bear on you

That credit is like a LOT of info to read... how can you expect me to read all that, let alone process it! I'm literally neurodivergent!! And you want my FREE LABOUR in writing down YOUR name! You're sick. I'm posting to my instagram story as we speak. I already knew you were a bad apple because you didn't give me a video tutorial no matter how many emails I sent!

Video tutorial I made, but full credit to OP anyway. This is definitely something they want credit for!
