Can I share my e-Patterns?
You can print two copies of your e-Patterns for personal use, but like any other copyrighted work, you cannot re-sell, or distribute electronically or otherwise any of our e-Patterns. Each e-Pattern contains copyright protection features that ensure only you can view and print your patterns, and only from your computer. With Annie's digital you'll have no worries about risking piracy or other copyright violations.
