If your not selling it u don't have to worry. Also who to say if u bought the kit and used different material. I have bought kits I like and made the quilt and then turned around and made another with different material, but if selling the pattern will say from the author...not to be made and resold it's a no no. A lot of embroidery designs are like that. I don't buy them, who wants to make something and then don't have the option to sell it. I always check the fine print.
