Yes! EVEN if the author/pattern package says is not allowed. No one has the right to determine what will happen to a product made from a legally acquired pattern. That concept was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, and is referred to as The First-Sale Doctrine.[/quote]

I find the information on the First-Sale Doctrine very interesting. Even though I don't make things to sell, I have purchased several bag and wall hanging patterns over the last few years that have stated that you could only make a certain number to sell (one bag was a maximum of 3) in any given year. Thanks for the info.
