I recently needed to have reverse copies of quilt pattern applique blocks made from a pattern I had purchased. Most copyrighted patterns state on the pattern that copies can be made for personal use. This one did not. The block patterns were too large for my copy machine. The commercial copy business will not copy without granted permission to do so. I emailed the owner of the copyright and she responded with permission. Commercial copy businesses know the copyright laws and reputable ones abide by the law.
