Pay for piecing tops

You might contact some of the Quilting Magazines and see if they might have need for your work skills or know of someone who does. My sister used to Work for Meredith Corporation in Des Moines, Ia and her job was testing craft patterns out before they were published. They were always different types of crafts so I do not know if they have a need for someone to just test quilting patterns. You might also contact some of the quilt book authors and see if they have a need for someone to make up their quilts for photo ops for their book releases. Good luck.

At my LQS I make all the shop samples...which I love to do. It's such a great shop. I'll go "work" for a couple of hours to get out of the house. They provide everything for the quilt tops and in return they will put my own quilts on the longarm for FREE :) :) :)

What a great payoff. I have a friend who goes to work at the LQS 2-3 days a week and she makes all their shop samples for them, in return, they furnish the machine, fabric, etc., quilt them and give her 40% off everything she buys from the store.
She loves it and it still gives her time to do her own quilting at home.
