I know I would have to, my DH wouldn't go for that at all... |
What a great job and it's only one day a week. I would love an offer like that too.

Thats what I call a pay check!

Hi,
You'll love this job.......how do I know? Because I work for fabric at my LQS and it's great! I make samples and wait on customers, do kits, etc., works great for me! I get to "play" with all the new fabric and don't have to buy everything I like, can satisfy the need by sewing on it at the shop. Good luck! Do it! Bev |
Thanks. That sounds just like what I will be able to do.

One more factor - the fabric usually has a 100% markup. I would discuss with the owner some accommodation that the fabric you are paid with is based on the wholesale price or some level between wholesale and retail. Otherwise, the owner is only really paying you half of what you think you're making.
|
Lucky, lucky you. Enjoy all your new fabric and your new job.

Many years ago long before I even knew about quilting, I took a part time job in a small fabric store. I took my "salary" not in quilting fabric but in knits which I used for my kids t-shirts. It was a big help for me and I had fun doing it.
If I could do that now you know it would be quilting fabric. |
What a perfect job!! Good luck!! :lol:
