I agree. Since joining this Board, there has been so much controversy over this issue. If a designer doesn't want anyone else to enjoy the pattern, it should not be sold. I consider paying upwards to $10 for a pattern gives me the right to do whatever I want with it. No, I would not make 10 quilts to sell. The designer gets paid for the pattern and after that it is up to the buyer. Bring on the lawyers...that's a good way to kill a thriving industry for sure. As Mom says, "Pick your battles."
