Reply To: Question for you about selling bears

[Laura Lynn]

Hi Lisa!

Thank you, I hope you had a nice Christmas as well.

That is NOT a dumb question!  For the most part, you should not sell bears (and critters) made from someone else’s pattern.  UNLESS – the pattern designer gives you permission to sell the bears you’ve made using their pattern.

You CAN sell bears you make from my patterns.  You would just indicate on the hang tag and in the listing that it is a Teddy Bear Academy design.  I do sometimes give out patterns made by other designers as they have given me permission to do so.  Those patterns are strictly for personal use.

I hope that helps!  Let me know if you think of more questions .
