    OK, first, I hope I did not come off as judgmental. I did not intend that nor was I anywhere implying any criticism. It is a well recognized pattern and anyone who knows the designer's patterns knows that one, or I guess, I know it. but really, that was beside the point. just today, I opened my new issue of American quilter and on page 66, it reads: "this pattern may be copied for personal use only. Please request reprint permission for any other use." I think it means permission in print? if it will be used for some other than personal use.

    Thats a horse of a different color, you can't reproduce the pattern or the fabric and sell them as your own,
    but you can make things from said products and sell them, givin designer credit for pattern.

    I think you need to do what ever you are comfortable with. I think often it is a scare tactic. But for someone to not want their pattern used and the quilt sold is strange. Maybe someone will see the quilt and want to make it and then buy the pattern - more sales.

    I agree with MYOB....in the scheme of things who cares! All this quilt policing is getting out of hand and hurtful to a lot of people. Most of the time the true facts aren't brought forward and finger pointing along with false accusations cause problems. If your conscience is clear why should you give a rip what someone else is doing. Karma eventually catches up to those who are not doing the right things in life.

    It would be hard to believe that since you bought the pattern that you could not sell the quilt. How many people have actually made money selling one of their quilts? what with all the time and material costs it is hard to even break even. What if you had bought the quilt and now decided to resell it. .for what ever reason. I don't believe the pattern designer has that much to say when you purchased the rights when you paid for the pattern.

    No, that's not how I read it. I believe they mean you can copy the printed pattern (like on a copier) for your personal use only (like to work from), but you need to get reprint permission to print it for any other reason (like to use it for teaching a class). They are just talking about the actual printing/duplicating of the pattern, not any quilts made from it.

    That is exactly what it means. You can copy the pattern for yourself, but not for general distribution.

    I agree. Since joining this Board, there has been so much controversy over this issue. If a designer doesn't want anyone else to enjoy the pattern, it should not be sold. I consider paying upwards to $10 for a pattern gives me the right to do whatever I want with it. No, I would not make 10 quilts to sell. The designer gets paid for the pattern and after that it is up to the buyer. Bring on the lawyers...that's a good way to kill a thriving industry for sure. As Mom says, "Pick your battles."
