I'm researching this issue now! I was looking into it because I am selling quilts. I want to do it correctly! I had no idea I was not supposed to sell quilts I made from a pattern I purchased. That stinks! Although I understand why better now.
I created a pattern and I assumed folks would see it in a shop where I was selling quilts and copy it--I didn't think I'd ever be able to prevent that. I didn't really care.
I think I'll have to stick to traditional designs, if I don't want to try to create my own. I'll use the public domain ones for any sale items. And I feel I should email the creater of the table runners to get permission to sell those.
Since I'm at a place where I don't make anything I might not consider selling, I don't need to buy any new patterns--ever.
Gee, the Civil War ones must be okay. :lol:
