Often fabric store employees will point out wording regarding the use of the fabric. The wording is printed on the fabric’s salvage.

HOWEVER -There is nothing in federal or state statute that says a disclaimer on the binding of the selvage means anything at all to the purchaser. The purchaser of the items can’t be a 3rd party to the contract between the licensed manufacturer and the owner of the copyright.

To be with in a legal use of licensed fabric, this what I have found based on some of my research into this situation.

A crafter may use the fabric to make items for resale. HOWEVER..(the great however) the crafter MUST do the below to avoid problems when selling items made with licensed fabric.

The crafter must clearly state that their item is handmade with the licensed fabric and the item is NOT a licensed product by that company . AND there must be a disclaimer that says you are not affiliated with the licensing company.

For example …
It’s a quilt with Disney Princess Fabric. It is NOT a Disney Princess Quilt.

The disclaimer should go like this.
” This is not a licensed Disney Product, it is handcrafted w/care from licensed disney material. Sellername is not affilated with or sponsored by Disney.”

NEVER, NEVER, REPRODUCE a licensed or copyrighted image, by painting, drawing, or using any type of copying.

INSTEAD, buy the images. For example- if you use things like stickers use the PURCHASED sticker. Scanning the design into your computer and printing off as many as you want is copyright infringement and illegal.
