But surely, if you have legitimately paid for the pattern, the lace you make from it is your own copyright as it is now the actual *thing*, with your personal differences due to thread choice etc. I'm sure that when in the past we have had posts about the minutiae of copyright and lace patterns, if you sell (or even lend) a book you are technically supposed to destroy the patterns/photocopies you made from that book, as those are what is copyright, but the lace you made from those patterns is exempt because it is your interpretation of the pattern. Not quite sure how the display aspect versus copyright would come into play if you want to display it via photos of your lace on a website (with proper credits, of course) but I really don't see how you can be stopped from displaying it in the flesh, as it were. Why doesn't she want as many people as possible to see her designs anyway? And surely if it is shown made by people other than herself, that demonstrates it is a good workable pattern. And what would she do if you did display it? Surely not have a hissy-fit in public, or ban you from her classes?
