Maraget,
 
You should always read the license agreement that comes with the designs;  it 
will indicate its usage. Note: you usually don't own the designs, you have  
license to use for personal use (or commercial use). Copywrited characters are  
almost always limited to personal use. Commercial designs are usually limited 
to  stitching out on items to sell but not for resale or distribution of the  
embroidery file; some licenses will allow you to modify the  design but  even 
the modified design is owned by the company that  created it. So you can't 
take a portion of a design, add to it and then sell it  to other embroiderers. 
Hope this helps. [I'm not an attorney, just well  read.]

Most  copyrighted designs like those and others such as Disney characters are
for  personal use with home embroidery machines.  When you become a  business
and are a commercial embroiderer they do no longet allow you to  use them and
especially not sell them.  I am not certain on this but  do you want to take
that risk.  Copyright logo infringement can cost  $5,000 per time you use the
logo.  If it were me I would not sell  anything like that.
