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.
Thanks, Ghostrider! I talked to a shop that is the outlet for this particular designer and that's what she told me - 10% of the sales price to the designer of the pattern. I paid my money for the pattern and I think that's all the pattern designer deserves. Boggles my mind to think of how much control this particular designer wants with something I created. I know designers work hard to create their patterns, but they get paid for that work with the sale of the pattern and that should be the end of it!!! I really appreciate you clearing up this matter!!!
