Wow....that is strange! I have never seen this on any top quality quilt manufacturers fabric, i.e., Moda, Northcott, etc., etc. People make all types of things out of fabric they purchase other than quilts and sell... make items for others. I can't imagine not being able to do this.
Where did you get this fabric and who is it manufactured by?
I am curious to know...........

I make bags and sell them, but if I use a "licensed" fabric, then I just tell the buyer that I can't sell them the bag because of the licensed fabric, so usually they just buy the button that is attached to the bag. I then give them the rest of the bag. Don't think there is a copywrite on buttons.

I have found that many fabrics have the "personal use" disclaimer on the selvage. Not going to sweat the small stuff.
I did purchase a pattern with the "can't do anything with this or anything you make from this pattern because it is copyrighted" printed on the directions
I contacted the company and told them exactly what I wanted to do and was told, 'NO'.
So, having asked and been told I could not, in good conscious, sell the wallets to raise money for charity.
I ended up giving the wallets to people who made a donation charity.
Oh, and there is someone in my community who is selling these same wallets in a gift shop.

Great article basically stating that unless they take your name and address and you sign an agreement not to use it to sell a product, you can do whatever you want with the fabric, including making something out of it to sell.

According to the court decisions, then, for example, if you buy a fabric with Disney characters on it and you make a purse, for example, just attach a note to the purse that says "No affiliation with Walt Disney" and you should be fine.
