I always read the fine print on the patterns. I know that Atkinson patterns has a copyright on items made with their patterns--you can NOT sell them. I know that items made with Eleanor Burn's patterns CAN be sold. I started reading the fine print before buying any pattern or book and don't bother wasting my money on the restricted copyrights. I never know if I am gonna' sell the item or give it away and don't want to worry when I make something.
