Hi CK ---Is "Not for Commercial Use" because they use this fabric for making up quilts for stores like JC Penney, etc??? I don't make anything to sell - my friends and family get my stuff !! :-) There has to be a reason a designer or manufacturer would curtail sales. If I love the fabric, I would still buy it for personal use. Maybe someone out there knows the rest of the story. I'm coming north for Christmas - maybe I can catch you then. Will PM you after Thanksgiving.
