Welcome,
I am new too but this is what I have learned so far.

Earn Coins-
You earn coins by doing the hourly task (Click My Center > Tasks >and click on the available task will say Apply (it will be gold when active) As you gain DIY level the amount of GC increases.

Credits are what determines the DIY level you are at. These seem to take longer to grow.

Spending Gold Coin
You can spend GC by purchases, note that the cost is the cost of the download + -30 for the pindiy site.  If a download costs 50GC, it will actually be -80 GC.

Cloe, you must earn coins, some tips: Do the task go to center and then task, every hour= 5 coins, give replay's on other works, it doesn't matter where, stitch dairy, crochet, knitting and others things, if you give a replay click on F5 to submit. = 5 coins
Post work if you do chrochet, post it in chrochet dairy, knitting the same for every hobby, make your picture smaller. If you get a replay on your work use the little coffeecup comments left under the work to answer.
I can tell you it takes a very long time you can download a pattern. Every new member want that, but the first rule is earn coins.
Good luck with it and welcome on this forum.

Better is to earn more coins, for sure, direcly a patttern is not good, if it gets wrong she can lost coins. is my experience. Learning is better, the pattern don;t run away.  Post time 2017-11-12 17:18

I hate the computer, not good in it also, believe me it's better to look around and download later. Some patterns have a XSD file, you must turn it to a PDF file, a special programm.  Post time 2017-11-12 20:40
