    If a fabric says for personal use only not for commercial use...

    does it mean it can't be used in any quilt/art project that will then be sold?

    This is the second fabric piece I've bought like this. The first was in my LQS and I just didn't look. The second one I bought from an online shop.

    Thanks in advance for info!

    I've used some of the Eric Carle fabric, and it's marked like that I think. Anyway, I assumed that it meant I could use the product or make it a gift -- but no selling.

    Yes, I just got a two panel scenes with the hungry catapillar; one with the rising sun, one with the moon. They are darling. These I bought online and didn't know it said this on it. The other is a cute humpty dumpty design which I bought in the store and never thought to look for this sort of thing

    That just doesn't seem right. If you're buying the fabric they are making money so what's the problem?

    That is nuts. We are not reinventing the wheel here. I would not call the fabric design my own, but I would not worry about it, seriously.

    Funny, I just bought a fabric with 6" squares of cardinals, four season variations. In the selvedge it said "For individual use only." Does that mean the same thing? I was planning on using some of it for items to sell at church craft sale. Crazy.

    Yep, kinda means that. You can buy the fabric and make with it and give it away. What you can't do is make items using a licenced fabric and then selling it. I work at a quilt shop and we can't put licenced fabric in the kits we sell.
