Seems like they would waste more money than they make chasing up any home based individual they consider in breach of their copyright. Personally, I would rather drink nuclear waste than use Disney fabric (she says hoping not to offend anyone here
). If I do sell any work (down the track when my skills pick up) I intend to work mainly with vintage fabric. As always, I suggest "vote with your feet" if you walk away from these restricted fabrics the sales figures may get them to have a re-think.

This is so wierd-- As I was waiting for my turn at the cutting table the lady in front of me was buying fleece with sports team logos on them to make Christmas stockings to sell at her Flea Mkt booth.Another lady said what she was doing was illegal and 'Don't you read the selvedge' blah blah blah and she could be arrested I could not help but to lol at that remark. I figure once its purchased its yours to do what you want..I don't read the selvedge other than to make sure the color code is there But from now on I will make sure to not buy any CFs and to let the store know why.

I am probably off in left field - but having worked in products liability - I wonder if it might be more of an attempt to avoid liability if say:
You make a bunch of something with the same fabric and sell them - - and for a strange reason there is discovered a flamability issue - or something in the fabric questionable to children inhaling - get what I am thinking(?) - - in that case they may be trying to limit their liability by saying it is not for commercial use.
Don't flog me - - it just came to mind. :-)

I would like to say I would not buy fabric with that printing on the selvage. BUT..... I do a lot of my fabric buying online. Is the online store going to tell me that there is a restriction on how I use this fabric? I would be very upset to order a lot of fabric for a quilt which MAY or may not be sold, and then find I can't use it for a saleable item. This can then become a problem for online retailers of these name brand fabrics.
