They can be used for personal use, gifts, etc. However nothing made with licensed fabrics can be sold for a profit, not at craft shows or elsewhere. You would have to get permission from the owner (team, etc) of the license in order to produce something with the fabric and sell it somewhere, no if's, ands, or buts about it. Many times, when you purchas a pattern also, it will say that you can not use that pattern to make something to sell. Other patterns will actually say that it is ok to sell what you make by using that pattern. When we find a picture in a magazine, etc. and want to make a pictoral quilt from it, we are always supposed to contact the artist for permission, because otherwise it is considered a copyright violation.

What about the embroidery patterns? I see people selling Disney characters all the time on bibs, shirts, etc. at craft shows. Do they get permission from Disney when they purchase the patterns? Just wondering...

The check makers now have limited teams, OU went franchise, only one bank has bought the use, no one has transferred their accounts so they can get the OU checks. How did that work out for you OU and I can't even remember what bank carries them.

The rationale is: consumers would likely falsely believe that the image owner either made the product or sponsors, endorses, or is somehow associated with the maker of the product made from the fabric (in violation of trademark law). Sorry! http://www.tabberone.com/Trademarks/...edFabric.shtml |
Golly, I had never even thought of that.
I have bought fabric with College LOGOS on, from ebay. What about buying /selling shirts a\etc with logos on them at gr. sales.? You see it all the time. |
