I am so glad to see the majority of the responses on this post!!! It has always been my belief that if I buy something, then it is mine to do with whatever I choose. I've recently opened an Etsy site for kids clothes, and if I use a pattern that I purchased I ALWAYS give the pattern maker information in the outfit description, but if it was a free pattern - then I'm not so adamant about it. With fabric, if something says for "personal or individual" use I pay it no mind. If the fabric designer feels they can dictate to this buyer what I can, and cannot do, with my purchase, they are wrong. There may be others who feel strongly the opposite of this, and that is fine. But none of us are going to get rich doing what we do here - making quilts and/or clothes for small individual sales, so we are not in any way taking money out of the pockets of the fabric designer. Rather, I see it as sort of a free, walking and talking advertisement for the fabric and/or pattern designers.
