Magazine

Is there a particular pattern or article? I oftern tear out things I want to keep -- so I may have what you are looking for.

That's a fairly recent issue, Linda. Try going to their website and see if you can get one there. Plan to stay a while; it's a really nice place to look around. Polly

I have it. Is there something in it that I can send to you? I keep all of my Fons & Porter magazines. Just let me know!

Howdy!

We all know, don't we, that copying patterns is possibly a violation of the copyright? Yeah, that's what I figured, we all know this.

It's almost always ok to copy a pattern for personal use. To reproduce for $$$......Never. Not having the whole quilt pattern and then finding one who does, sharing that one part would be fine.

If you e-mail the author of the pattern, she may send you a copy of the pattern. There was a pattern by Nancy Mahoney in a magazine and it was unavailable. I e-mailed her and she e-mailed me a copy of the pattern! That quilt "Grandpa's Dots" is in our quilt show this weekend.

It's usually okay to copy a pattern *you* own for *your* personal use, but to copy a pattern *you* own for the personal use of *someone else* who hasn't purchased the pattern...I don't know. It's a bit iffy.

Iris (don't see where Linda had any part of the pattern - big can of worms here!)

Howdy!

Here we go again, w/ copyright issues.

If this pattern/magazine content is copyrighted (it will be marked so), then it is not okay to copy it and give that copy to someone else (without the permission of the copyright owner). It's not a matter of $$$, it's a matter of copyrighted material. In this case, the buyer of the magazine or pattern is allowed to make a quilt based on that pattern. It's not okay to copy that pattern & give it to someone else - at least that's the way it was explained right here on RCTQ by a copyright lawyer.

When in doubt: ask the designer.
