I have seen one that offers a discount on the fabric (30 percent) , and discounted longarm quilting( 30 percent) and at the end of a period of time the maker keeps the quilt.
this is the most popular and most used method. Many shops if not offering LA services need only display TOPS not quilts. Bags, aprons, etc are always completely finished though!
