Ever Wonder Why You Have To Buy The Book Or Pattern?
You have to buy the book or pattern to honor the copyright. Legally, we cannot copy a pattern unless we have special permission from the author. Since most authors require each person to buy the book or pattern, we must honor their right to make money from their product. At Busy Bee Quilts, we honor this policy, which is why we generally don't allow books and/or patterns to be returned. We would hate to think that someone would copy a pattern, then return it, but these things do happen.
