As shown earlier on in this thread, that is not illegal. That's a scare tactic to make you buy directly from the store. If it was illegal then the fabric store would not be able to buy it, from whoever sells it to them.
If you buy from a fabric store and turn it into fat quarters and sell on ebay, your doing no more then being a store.
What moonwolf said was on the selvage of the fabric she bought it said for personal use only. My friend at the fabric store said you can buy fabric to sew, but when you cut it up and re-sell it on ebay or where ever, it is illegal, because you aren't using it for personal sewing. I don't know if this is true or not, because I wouldn't even know how to check it out, but it I was going to do this, I would want to know if I was violating any copy right (or what ever) laws.
