Yah!...what she said
I don't even want to think about this. I don't want to argue about whether it's legal or binding or what "commercial" means. I just won't buy any fabric that's marked that way. Ever! And if a manufacturer has one line marked that way and not another, I just might have to avoid that manufacturer completely. So there!

Didn't I just read a post on here de-bunking this as a myth? Or did I read it on one of my other boards? Anyway- the license is from the owner of the design to allow the fabric company to print it ( ie they have nor just drawn their own picture of Mickey Mouse or John Deere or whatever) There is case law out there addressing the ridiculousness of deeming any license to exist with the end user.
But I bet we'll have pages of more responses just taking this at face value. One of the things that irritates me greatly about this board. All transmission, no reception!!!

I agree with others, We are a big group of buyers, let's not buy from these mfg. and/or designers. We might not have any idea what we are going to do with fabric when we buy it, once we have it we should not be restricted in how we use it.

How bizarre can things get these days? What with all the "politically correct" language, Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, now you can't buy a fabric, make a quilt and sell it???? I think some idiot just sits around thinking up the next stupid restraint to put on us....UGH

I read 4 pages replies and have come to this conclusion: 1. This is utterly ridiculous! 2. If I buy fabric, it is mine to do with as I please. I am not some big 'manufacturer' I am me, alone with my sewing machine and maybe make less than 100 pieces to sell at a flea market, or I use it for my own projects to keep or give away at my own discretion. 3. If the designer thinks that much of their fabric that they feel that they can tell me what to do with it, they can keep it all to themselves! I don't need someone, whom I don't know, telling me what I can and can not do in my own home with fabric of all things!! 4. The price of the fabric is high enough now that it is hard for some of us to purchase it and if we do make and sell something from it, we are not only giving away our time and craft, but are loosing money because there is always someone with their hand out wanting a cut of what you are doing, let it be booth rental or sales tax or fee to sell or fee to collect money, ect.. in the end, it is just another hand that is trying to double dip into our already empty pockets for the lint that is left! 5. Look what happened to the embroidery world when the designers started telling everyone where they could use their designs.. that market has dropped off like a lead balloon. It got to the point that the only designs you could use were ones that you digitized yourself, and then you had to be careful of the line drawing you used!
I say again, this is utterly ridiculous!

Yes, it's like buying flour at the store....I can make bread but not cookies!!! I'm all for complying with copyright laws but I think this is taking it a little far.
