    Excellent solution! I agree!

    IMHO it means you can't sell it to a factory, however small, where they make it up into 1500 purses or whatever. But a lawyer with nothing to do might find a case against that. Do you think you can sell it at a garage after your kids have outgrown it?

    It has to be okay if it goes from my home to someone else's home with NO Store in between even if I get paid for making it.

    What if you purchase the fabric and there's no selvage on it? This won't stand up in court. here's a little more info about this I don't know how to do the link where you can just click on it. www.tabberone.com/trademarks. I agree you'd think they'd be happy someone is showing their fabric in their book. Free advertising I'd say. They better be happy people are buying fabric with the economy what it is. Just my 2 cents.

    I don't KNOW any of the laws around this topic -

    But I don't think Ignorance of the law gets one off the hook if one broke that law. Whatever it may be.

    Or how unreasonable it seems to be to an ordinary person.
