Surely it's the modern equivalent of having it hanging on your wall where all your friends will see it, or in a key ring fob, or taking your finished work to a lace day. No designer wants the lace made from their designs to then be hidden away in the back of a drawer. In fact, so long as it is accredited to them, it is free advertising for them. The important thing is that proper acknowledgement is made of the source of the pattern, both the designer and publisher, and this applies even if the lacemaker has made even quite substantial personal alterations to that design.
