This is just not true and there are court cases that prove it. It's a frequent topic of discussion here as a search will show.

Unless you actually signed a license agreement when you bought the pattern, the designer has no say in what you do with works made from it as long as you do not claim it as your own original design. She can neither forbid you to sell it nor charge you a pecentage.
