First, congrats on getting this site launched. I hope it grow into its promise!

I just went through the process of adding a pattern, and found it frustrating and tedious. I couldn't save partial information before switching tabs, and it repeatedly deleted what I had entered. I suspect these are the normal sort of defects that need to get shaken out of any new site, and I would be happy to help with repro cases if that would be of use.

Mostly, there should be some indication of what size photo is allowed. I wasn't able to upload the large photos (~5M) that I use for my pattern, which was frustrating. There was a tiny little "Error" message that appeared in the upper right, but gave me no context. 

On a whim I reduced my beauty pic to a few K, and it uploaded just fine. So I'm assuming there is a size limit, and I was exceeding it. 

I look forward to using the site!

Also there is no way to delete a mistaken entry on the fabric tab.

Fixed, the deleting icon was there all the time, but got invisible in some browsers. Should be working fine now!

Yup! deleted the fabric errors. Thanks for the prompt fix! 

Next Q: should the "projects" and "patterns" on my profile page be clickable? I expected them to take me to a page (possibly just search results) with those objects showing. If they should, they aren't working.

A couple of points:
- If you don't put in a price a pattern appears as free, even if the "Is this pattern free?" box is unticked (I've posted this elsewhere earlier but here seems more appropriate)
- Sweatshirt is misspelled as "sweetshirt" - unless this is something I haven't heard of :)
- Could we have interfacing available under fabrics - it often has yardage specified so it'd be useful to be able to put this info in
- US size 0 isn't an option but definitely exists in commercially available patterns e.g. Colette

We added tabs right on the profile. And I'll go through the website re all these links that should be clickable as well.
