Dear Arachnids Not all authors and designers are so 'precious' about their work. I am always delighted when I hear someone has used my patterns. The only time I was annoyed was when someone started selling the small motif , now in one of my books, and that was even before I had published the book and the pattern had had the copyright symbol on it. Regarding using my patterns for classes. I write books to pass on the knowledge I have enjoyed accumulating for many years and I consider teachers using my books for their students to be a compliment.
As my book on Torchon lace is no longer in print I do not mind if the patterns (only the patterns) are copied and passed on free to a students providing my name and the book name are written on them- but please do not abuse the privilage. My book on Teneriffe lace has been out of print for many years and I have asked Jeri and Tess to put it on the website of lace books that can be freely downloaded. I expect they will let you know when it is available. Happy lacemaking Alex - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
