I buy a lot of Susan Winget fabrics because they are beautiful; so I just pulled my latest gathering and the selvage says " Sold for Non-Commerical home use only" on all of it. Maybe this is something our LQS and even JoAnns and Hancock's should post in their shops as a warning to the customer. It won't stop me from buying because I don't make things to sell.

I agree with everyone saying they will not buy this type of fabric anymore. I will certainly be checking and will not buy it. Hope we all put those out of business. What a stupid law they came up with. Seems to me this will defeat their whole selling/profit reason for being.

If I happen to use 2 inches of such a fabric, because ot somehow found its way into my stash , and happened to sell it something made from it ... let them find me ! Really .... If they have nothing better to do!
I do not and would not purchase any fabric that has any restrictions on it .

When I'l buying fabric for my craft show...I generally will pay attention to this wording on the selvage...I have put back several very cute fabrics this year....BUT...I think some designers have taken this a bit far.
I purchased some Brown and White dotted fabric last week...and it also says "not for commercial use"...excuse me....these are standard little white circles on a solid brown fabric....no designs...nothing... No, I didn't see the wording before purchase, but wasn't looking for it on a basic material...it wasn't even a named designer.
I have cut this fabric up and used it, and I sold everything that I had with that fabric in it, this weekend...
I'm sorry, but, I call the line at trademarking something like that...and I will NOT honor the "not for Commercial use" on something that is a nomal, everyday pattern.
