Just a note on patterns and copyrights. Let's put it in a different context. Say you buy a car or a couch or anything for that matter. Someone had to be the designer and no one "shares," or gives kudos to his/her when you purchase do they? Why, all of a sudden have these pattern designers stepped up and want a cut? They are paid from the get-go and once it goes on the market, that is it. Yes, I can see giving their name as the pattern used, but it ends there. If we are to go by their "copyright," rules then, we must give kudos to the designer of the clothes we wear, the car we drive, the farmers that grow our food, etc. This whole entire subject has gotten out of hand. Our Mother's made our clothes and not one single time was there a pattern designer that got a "cut," of the clothes made, nor the fabric designers. Let's give this topic a rest; please. Thank you, GiGi
