| Frequently Asked Questions |
1. Can I sell the bags I make from your patterns?
Not unless you purchase a cottage license from The Creative Thimble. A Cottage License
cost $100.00 per year, per pattern. Under the terms of the contract, you can make and sell
as many bags as you would like for a period of one year. You must tag the bag with
information that it is a Creative Thimble pattern. A Cottage License can be renewed for
additional years.
2. Can I make and donate your bags to a charity?
Yes, I do not have any problem if you want to donate a few bags for a charity, church bazaar,
quilt show. The key word is donate. As soon as you (the maker) receive any money for your
bags you will need to purchase a Cottage License as stated in question #1.
3. Your Professional Tote pattern on the back cover tell me to purchase a 20"
zipper, but on page 12 of the directions it calls for an 18" zipper, which is correct?
There is a misprint on the back cover of the Professional Tote pattern. I really wanted it to
list an 18" zipper. In my first printing of the pattern, I used a 20" zipper and then decided
that I really liked the 18" size better. I made the change in the directions and then forgot to
change the back page. I realized the mistake the day I received 5000 copies from my
printer. Because either size zipper really will work, I left it as is. I will correct it in the next
printing.
4. On page one of the Professional Tote pattern it states the final dimensions of the
tote as 18" wide x 15" tall X 5" deep. In the cutting directions, piece #1(front and
back piece) states to cut 15" wide x 18" tall. I am confused.
I am sorry for the confusion with this matter, but both measurements are correct. The tote has
side panels that will add width to the finished tote measurement and after sewing the bottom
seam adding depth to the tote, it shrinks in height. Therefore, any one-way designs should be cut
exactly as stated paying close attention to the height and width measurements of each pattern
piece.
5. FYI - One of my students, Todd from Winston-Salem, NC has made very nice revisions to
my cutting labels, by making them in color. You can follow this link to his web site to download
a free copy of his cutting labels for several of my patterns. Thanks, Todd.
