The photo copy I received does not have anything on the back of the page with the bag pictured. This page is not even a good color copy.







I found where it shows it's copyrighted! The colored picture of the bag, the page that is folded in half with the pattern inside, on the back side of this page at the VERY bottom on the lefthand side. After where it says "If you have any questions........ then it has the copyright symbol 2008 Quiltsillustrated, Inc. All rights reserved.[/quote]

I just looked again and mine do not have that. It has the rest of it, but not the copyright symbol or the all rights reserved part. I got the patterns at a LQS in TX when I was visiting my sister there. I got them in March of this year.

I am wondering if they realized they needed that and did it with further printings?

Yes, what I got looks like the picture in her E-bay postings. You can tell mine is a photo copy as the color on the pictured bag page is too faded & the bottom lines of the pattern pages were cut off by the photo copier. She put the copy in a plastic bag, but the bag is not the correct size for this size pattern. The Designer's rep assured me that their patterns are professionally printed.

If ebay doesn't catch up with her then her feedback will, if people like you report her and give her the red dot.
Good for you- that's just plain wrong to do what she did :(

My copy of the picture of the purse is one piece of paper that is folded in half with the three pages of instructions enclosed inside. The folded paper has the purse on one side and the measurements for the purse on the other, but NOTHING on the back side of the page!!! Is that the way yours is?

The pattern I purchased was the "Mini Bow Tuck" and there is nothing on the back of the folded in half page that has the bag pictured in color.

Thanks for the info and warning. I was going to buy one on ebay this weekend because I haven't seen it at my LQS.

I just bought one last week at my LQS, and this is also the way mine is printed. I think it also sounds like an orginal Mini.
