This is false. You CAN make a copy of your pattern or book and use it, for example, as a template. You CAN make a copy for your own personal use.

This is also mumbo jumbo. You don't need permission to use the pattern for commercial use. And you can sell your finished product without any say so from the designer. A quilt made from a pattern is NOT protected by the designers copyright and the idea is laughable.

This is the only sentence that is true!
