I have a question for my readers. Over at Lumberjock's I asked on one of their forums if anyone there would like to share /swap intarsia/scroll patterns. I had explained that I needed this to be done through the postal service as I only have a printer/copier. In other words I can not get anything to print out on my computer from the computer. I also said I have a ton of patterns, both kinds I would be willing to copy and send to anyone if they would like them. I offered to pay postage, but what I was really hoping was that it would be more of a give and take without counting pennies. I happen to know that it takes a lot of papers in a manilla envelope for the expense to get to just $5.00.
I only asked this a couple of days ago. I have received a couple responses, but for some reason I thought I would get more.
My question to my readers is this. Did I cross the line by asking for something, for essentially free? There are a lot of places to get patterns on the internet for free, I just can't get them due to my printer. Does money really talk in a situation such as this? I also posed the same question on twitter with only one response and that was from someone asking what intarsia patterns were?
I would never ever be intentionallly disrespectful, but did I come off that way? I would love to get some reply's on this!
Thanks
