Thank you, onebyone. I reread
www.tabberone.com since your post reminded me of that site. What is your take on this: if the rule stated is to attach the designer's name and website to the item, is this just a polite and respectful thing to do? I read about the difference between written consent and passive consent - that just buying the pattern or following the tutorial is not giving my active
Thanks again.consent to the designer's rules.
I know this is a hot button topic and I have friends who are designers. Upon further thought, in this age of googling etc., it would probably be easy to find the pattern source if you really wanted to make that item that I'm selling in my little craft booth.
I was brought up to be a rule follower so when this debate erupted the other day, I just wanted to be sure that I was doing the right thing for my guild. Now that I'm thinking of it, that is what those rules expect of me and others, that we'll follow them without question, right?
