Thanks!

thanks for the link. good info, but still a lot of unanswered questions. :)

yes, I thought so myself...but these days, it is sort of like the old saying, if you have to ask how much it costs, then you can't afford it...well if you have to ask IF you can do it, then it is best NOT to do it...

I think the biggest issue these days are with the designers who are trying to tell the consumer that they can NOT make items to sell from their patterns...and that is really causing a lot of grief in the designer community.

Thanks!

thanks

all she has claim to is that YES the first use doctrine can be used ONCE by a person using Lic. fabrics. Copyright law takes effect as well, so there is still a fine line between right and wrong!

Good info. Thanks.
