some of these quilt pattern designers have gotten way out of hand that is why I do not buy magazines anymore I think they are the worst but how about buying clothes patterns and making and selling those to someone quilt pattern makers would even call an apron pattern illegal I think this is ruining the quilting industry as I know of several quilt shows that use to be regular but are no more as I have heard people say they did not want the responsibility of someone hanging a quilt that they shouldn't it only takes one rotten apple in the barrle to ruin it for everyone

I am so impressed with all the answers to this post. End of Sale Doctrine entitles you to do with it what you want, you did not sign a contract when you purchased the pattern to agree to the terms did you? Furthermore, there is nothing that states, that buying this pattern you agree to the terms.
I agree with the others about MYOB, you have no idea what the circumstances regarding the quilt. You don't know if that quilt maker got permission from the designer like you stated needed to be done. Please don't be accusatory over something you have no information on. Like others have said, this causes heartache where it is not necessary. Being informed will get you a long way in life. As a new quilter these statements scared me at first. However, I learned very quickly that whats stated on the fabric or pattern is not necessarily legal. I educated myself on the statements printed and realized I can do with it as I please as long as I am not reprinting the pattern on a copy machine or reprinting the fabric pattern on to a blank piece of fabric. |
well said pinkberrykay I don't know who some of these designers think they are why even sell the pattern if they don't want it used I have gotten tired of their greedy ways and now some of us even exchanges patterns we just can't print them for sale but we can give them away and if you want to look into this even further on most of these patterns it is not even theirs have you ever checked on the spinoffs first stack and whack spinoff one block wonder
another square dance had a pattern for us to make on template plastic then spin off twister big price increase they spplied the template there are very many more as I have lots of magazines dated back to the early 80's and you would be surprised at the spinoffs that keep popping up and these are the very people not wanting their patterns used |

so, scissor queen, you're saying that my work is my work and I can sell it even if the designer states otherwise on her pattern?? that seems counter-intuitive to me but I do like the answer. I have also seen patterns where the designer says only 10 (for example) can be sold and if you want to sell more, you need to contact the designer for permission. I tend always to do what they say (I may be oppositional, but am ultimately compliant --8^D )

I would do nothing.

I agree with Tartan and would not want to be the quilt police

I'm just thinking from a practical standpoint . Let's say someone was not supposed to use a particular pattern. I'm SURE the time and materials that went into a quilt was not going to be adequately reimbursed by the cost of the quilt - at least not for the quilts I've seen sold at craft fairs. So, let's pay someone for the work and ability they used to make a quilt and throw in the design for free. How's that?
