I know several people who have happily worked with the Washburn Small Business Development Center: http://washburnsmallbusiness.com/. One aspect of them which I admire- they seek to empower the business owner to perform tasks for themselves (filings, marketing, etc.) as opposed to just doing the work for you. Can be frustrating, as with any learning, but the benefits are obvious.

Hello....
Does anyone know where I can buy the Star of Bethlehem Market Basket pattern by Patti Hawkins? I have checked all of the usual sources and have been...
Joyce R. replied:
Thank you Lara. I contacted them but they will not sell me a pattern until after the class is over when they can see if they have any patterns left over. This does not sound very promising. If I had Patti Hawkins contact information, I would contact her directly.
Pamela D. replied:
As posted before, regarding St. Louis Basketry. They probably purchased a number of patterns from Patti Hawkins for a class. After the class is over, and there are some left, they can sell or give it away.
Angie W. replied:
Even though Patti Hawkins is no longer selling patterns, she still is the owner of the material in her patterns and copying and giving away or selling her patterns is against copyright laws. It is no different than is you bought an out of print book and wanted to copy it and sell it or give it away.
Angie W. replied:
Please see my replies above - it is not legal to photocopy and give away or sell an out of print book that is still protected by copyright law and it is the same with a pattern. Patti Hawkins still holds the copyright on the pattern.

http://www.amfed.org/a_copyfact.htm Misconception #6: We are not for profit, therefore copyright laws do not apply. Fact: Copyright laws apply to everyone. Not for profit status does not exempt you from copyright laws. Misconception #7: We can distribute Xerox copies of magazine articles to our members at meetings. Fact: Photocopies, transcriptions, or reprinting are all equally treated under copyright law. It is illegal to reproduce for any purpose an article without permission except under the provision of "fair use". Copyright law does allow fair use of copyrighted material provided only limited copies are made and it is for journalistic, educational or private use. But fair use is limited to the extent that the value of the original article is not reduced in any way. This is a very murky area of the copyright law and it is important that clubs play it safe. If you are going to rely on the fair use rule you should limit yourself to four or five paragraphs or illustrations and be careful not to take the text out of context so that the meaning is changed. Misconception #8: We excerpted only a portion of the original article, this is allowed under copyright laws. Fact: This is partially true. Small excerpts can be used, with proper credit to the original author and publisher, in original literary works without infringing on copyrights. However Lapidary Journal recently used an excerpt of one of my articles (without permission). The excerpt amounted to 80% of the column content. That is a copyright infringement. In this case by excerpting only parts of the article they omitted important safety precautions. As a rule of thumb, keep you excerpts short, and in small proportion to the original article content, and provide complete credit to the citation.

Patti Hawkins is no longer selling her patterns as far as I knew. She stopped many years ago which is why they are hard to come by.
I need a wonderful lawyer to help me prosecute the individual who stole my wallet.
