However, I am a pretty experienced quilter, I know the design, I calculate my own yardage, and I don't need directions. However - do I still have to buy the kit?
Now note that I would not sell the quilt after I make it. And I KNOW that we need to support quilt businesses so they can stay in business. But I wouldn't use the kit, so why am I paying for it?
saySo lets hear your opinions!
It's hard to say. I've been told that if you design a quilt from a photo that someone else has taken, you need to ask permission.
