Please let me know if this is in any violation.

So far I have only seen cross stitch patterns of Greg Olsen artwork sold as kits that are way out of my price range. I am wondering if anybody has a cross stitch pattern left over from a finished cross stitch kit that they have done that they no longer need. I would be happy to take it off your hands. Right now I am not picky about which one, any of the ones that have Jesus Christ in it would be fine with me.

Also does anybody know if these kits/patterns have anything in the copyright about only being able to use the pattern once?? or can they be used over again?? Meaning can I use a pattern that somebody else sends me that they have already used without breaking any copyright laws. (I know they do on sewing patterns)

Thank you

The copyright is determined by each individual designer. Some like Disney make it quote clear that you can not use the pattern more then once. Others do not mention if it is a one only pattern. So you would have to read the info sheet that comes with each kit to know if it was allowed or not. Of course no copy could be made of any pattern from kit, magazine or chart.
