Default No Fabric Boycott Needed - Inform Yourself
Before everyone gets upset over the selvage statements, please inform yourself of the true meaning of the selvage or bolt end statements, such as, "licensed fabric," "personal use only," or "non-commercial home use only". Today, I spoke with the owner of a business, a LQS owner, and did some research. This site is boiled down into simple terms that we should all be able to understand. http://www.tabberone.com/Trademarks/...edFabric.shtml If, after reading this link, you still want to avoid the purchase of these fine fabrics, O.K. That will just leave more for those of us who understand that we are not breaking the law.

This was a good subject to discuss because there was obviously some misunderstanding. If you were struck with panic, and spread the words to friends or other sites, please go back and correct your statements before we are accused of starting an urban legend.

If your LQS, discount store, thrift shop, internet sales, or wherever, sells fabric, you (the buyer) are safe. Buy what you want, make whatever you want, sell it where ever you want and let the stores continue to stock the fabrics which they think will move in their area.
