Oh please.......you can go to the Library and copy whatever you want to.....and you have to pay for the copies at the desk whereby the Librarian has to look at them and count the pages to tally up your total.

This is bordering on funny. I get the point and I don't purposely go out and copy patterns and such but geeeeeeez.

I still say it is a compliment to the designer and the designer should be given props for the design if used.

Disclaimer:

Please flame with quilt patterns.....LOL!

I posted Rainforest Rings a couple of weeks ago, I used the exact fabric on the pattern. I showed the pattern and gave the name of the designer. She was great with it and even went in and looked at and was very pleased.

I think we are beating a dead horse. Get over it.

You also get DVDs to watch for free,that they check out to countless people. They have copyright laws on them too. Is the Library exempt? They also have music CDs and books on CD.
You check out books that you did not buy and read them for free also.
Im just coureous to know, seems the owners are losing alot of profit from sales because of the Library.
really good point

Also you do not have time to make a quilt when checking out the book so it is necessary to copy the pattern. Why would they have the book if you could not use it?
You can usually keep a book out for 3 weeks and then renew it once or twice, plenty of time to make a quilt. You can learn about different methods from reading the instructions in a book. Or you can get inspiration from the quilts in the book. Several times I checked out a book to see if it was something I would want to refer to again and again, and if it was I bought the book.
yes, I too have done this, I like the book so much that I end up buying my own.
