Many times, when you purchas a pattern also, it will say that you can not use that pattern to make something to sell. Other patterns will actually say that it is ok to sell what you make by using that pattern. When we find a picture in a magazine, etc. and want to make a pictoral quilt from it, we are always supposed to contact the artist for permission, because otherwise it is considered a copyright violation.
If you read what MTS has posted and go on to the relevant site to read the info there, it seems that this isn't so as long as you include a disclamour in your labelling!
