I agree, if a pattern designer says the pattern is for personal use only, don't buy it. I bought a pattern I really liked and later found the fine print that said you were not allowed to make multiple pieces from the pattern. That designer got her money from the pattern and it shouldn't matter to her/him how many items I make from it as long as it isn't mass produced. To me several items, three or four or any small number would be hard to call MASS produced, so I made what I wanted and totally ignored the fine print. However, I will NEVER buy another pattern from this person so she kind of did herself in with the limitations as far as I am concerned and I do watch for those limitations when I buy a pattern.
