I just came across another mess of an AI design. This youtube video shows the cover of a book on tatting with bobbin lace on the cover. Is this crazy? This is worth watching if you worry about buying junk AI generated patterns.

I was on Etsy and came across an embroidery pattern I really liked and it was 60% off for black Friday so I thought for $2 why not get it. ( Yes I do buy patterns. It's a great way to learn and see how others do their pattern directions) I'm so glad I looked at all the photos they posted because I could see that the finished design was a little different from the pattern. Odd that they'd put the actual line drawn pattern in a photo to look at. That made me wonder about it so I enlarged the photo of the finished piece and guess what was obvious then. The embroidery floated on the fabric. The french knots were almost identical and the tiny stars had no stitch lines. WOW! If you knew how to embroider it was stitchable so I'm not going to out them.
I spend months designing and stitching my embroideries along with my tatting, crochet, and doll patterns. I don't even use AI for ideas because I have so many of my own. I work with pencils, rulers, curves, and paper for my designs. I use my old win xp computer with an old version of Paint Shop Pro to edit and clean up drawings. Then I do all the patterns in n old MS Publisher. Why this old computer and programs? I like them! I do have a newer laptop for online stuff so I use a lot of flash drive to move files from one computer to the other. I'm thinking I should update my info at Etsy with this.
I'll keep posting whenever I find any more info on AI patterns.
