I see other people selling places without paying for the right to do so like I did.
You actually don't need permission to sell things made from any pattern. No matter what the designers think or try to tell you.
What about when it says on the pattern itself that you can't? I'm really curious about this.
I've run into this as well. The pattern actually says it's only for personal use and items made from pattern can't be sold, which I think is unfair. I don't buy these patterns if they say that.
My quilt instructor said that if a pattern is modified 40%, you can call it your own and sell it as your own and the items made.
McCalls article said that no matter how much you change a pattern, it's still 'derivative' and you not allowed to claim it as yours.
