HOW WILL TESTERS BE CHOSEN?

I am looking for neat stitches, even tension, and quality photos. I am not concerned with your follower count!
Photos should have neutral backgrounds, bright natural lighting, and be clear and focused. I will be browsing your Instagram account(s) in search of these good quality images that will best highlight the pattern for me.

HOW WILL TESTERS BE CHOSEN?

Chosen testers will be notified via email. Please make sure to provide the email address you check most often so you don’t miss it! Add admin@thepointedhat.net to your safe list so my emails don’t end up in your spam folder. If you do not receive an email by the pattern delivery date (June 9th, 2025), it means you have not been selected. Maybe next time!
