No need to buy it -- there are lots of other choices out there. Hope this advertising practice does not catch on. Could we reach a point where there would not be any other choices?

Yes, and this practice deserves a good rant. Cut it off, and use the strip (minus the logo itself) in a strip quilting block. <G> This calls for a little bit of granny-guerilla warfare. Then, go one step further. Go to the website of the company and tell them you will not - and neither will anyone in your quilt guild or anyone within your reach - purchase their fabric in future, until they quit doing this. They can put their @#$% logo on the selvage, like everyone else does. That is a breach of contract, as far as I'm concerned, and you can refuse to pay for their advertising... that's all it is, advertising... by not purchasing their goods. Oh, and be sure to complain about it at the fabric shop where you purchased it. Better yet, take it back and tell them in a very loud voice (so everyone in the store can hear you) that you want your money back and why. - Guerilla Granny

I'd cut it off - I don't advertise for anyone.

Yes, they bother me, I would actually cover it up with foilage, a deer or what ever goes with the scene.

I would cut it out in a heartbeat. I do not want or need manufacturers logo's imprinted on fabric I am using.

I would put an applique over it if it really bothers you. Something to incorporate in the panel.

If you could, would you cut it off and work around it? Or does it not really matter?
Being a hunter, I would definitely leave to logo on. "Real Tree" is big name in hunting.

I don't like it and would not buy it or use it. If I am going to advertise for a company with something beautiful that I have made, they should pay me. I don't wear shirts with company advertising or tees with numbers of sports figures either. Just weird I guess.
