A copyrighted work may not be copied, reproduced, distributed or publicly displayed without the consent of the author or copyright owner. Any unauthorized use of any purchased or free patterns shall be considered copyright infringement. It is illegal for anyone to violate any of the rights provided by the copyright laws to the owner of this copyright. This also means that if you try to copy a technique you are infringing on the copyright.

If you'd like to make any of the cloth patterns for something other than personal/gift use, you must contact the owner to obtain written permission to do so. This means if you plan to make the pattern for craft fairs, school auctions, or charity/church bazaars, you must obtain written permission.

You are purchasing the pattern only, you are not to reprint it for sale, nor are you to post or in any way reproduce any of the pattern via the internet or other electrical devices. This includes, but is not limited to KAL groups or other groups that would benefit by doing so.
