How to Know if a Collection is LICENSED or NON-LICENSED
If a collection or design is licensed, there will be a notice posted on the product page on this website. Look for the artist's name in with the stitching information on the design's product page and the thread chart PDF.
All licensed designs are created under license from artwork drawn by various artists. Some artists have other licensed products available. You may be able to find fabric, notepaper, figurines, jewelry, project patterns, scrapbooking items, framed art, and other items that can coordinate with the collection.
OESD non-licensed designs are drawn by our artists to meet the demands of customers. This model allows for a great variety of designs. OESD currently offers over 50,000 non-licensed designs. These designs are fully editable and can be used on personal projects, gifts, or items to be sold.
