Do you know the name of the maker of the fabric? Can you get a phone number or e-mail the company and ask them. I probably would not have even bothered to read that. Oops I might be in trouble. Good luck.

At least that is my interpretation.

This is the only way I know of to use licensed fabric to make things for profit. Have the person purchase the fabric and pay you to make the item.

So, what you are making is only a few... (not thousands) nobody is going to fuss at you if you do or do not sell a few.
The copyright is meant to make the fabric available to quilters who are individuals, not large scale manufacturers.

These two sites explain it all quite clearly.
DO: Buy whatever fabric you want, make whatever you want and sell it to whomever you want. Period.
DON'T: Make a copy of the fabric.
I especially like the analogy of Pillsbury not allowing the use of their flour in the baking of cookies that will be sold.

i have run into this with NFL fabrics. you are allowed to make something for personal use - that is to use yourself or give to a friend but the copyright infringement policy goes into effect if you try to sell something you make with it.

That applies to manufacturers who will turn around and make a lot of items. It does not refer to someone who might make a couple of purses and sell them to friends or at craft show.
Can you imagine someone trying to find that person doing that?
