Thank you for doing the research on this. I was getting concerned as more and more fabrics, even those at Walmart, are now with the for non commercial home use only on them. Now I won't have to warn my customers to buy it AND I can buy the one I want to make a wall hanging to sell!

Just remember that the Tabberone site is from attorneys. They are capable of defending themselves in court, something I am not able to do. If I am sued, I have to pay an attorney to fight the lawsuit. Most of the time I would not be able to recover my attorney fees even if the suit is dismissed or there is a ruling in my favor.

Personally I think there are plenty of fabrics in the world for me not to have to worry about the ones with restrictions. This situation is very similar to that in the machine embroidery world. I just make sure I don't buy designs with restrictions. That way I don't have to worry about what I eventually do with them.

Tabberone (Karen Dudnikov) is not an attorney...she is an eBay seller.

Gosh I am so glad to find this out before I go to bed. It could have kept me from a good nights sleep. Just kidding.

If you are not sure. Simply contact the copyright offices, they are more then happy to explain. I do it by email, then I have copies of the response.
