May I sell items that I make using your patterns?

The copyright notice on all of our patterns allows you to make up to ten items for gift or for sale. We do ask that you credit Annie Unrein as the designer of the pattern. If you are selling the item, please include the name of the pattern used, Annie's name as designer, and our website on the listing for the item and on a tag attached to the item. For example, let's say you made a travel bag from our Ultimate Travel Bag 2.0 pattern and you are selling it on an Etsy site. In the description of the bag and on a tag attached to the bag, please include this information: "This travel bag was made using the Ultimate Travel Bag 2.0 pattern designed by Annie Unrein of www.ByAnnie.com." If you'd like to make more than ten items from a pattern, please contact us. We review additional requests on a case-by-case basis.

Soft and Stable: Can I substitute Soft and Stable for regular quilt batting?
