Would you?

Sounds like a great opportunity. All postings are good advise. It seems to me that you should get a larger % of sales. You are the one spending hours sewing, designing, & using your talents. Try one or two commissioned items & see if YOU are happy with the income vs your pool of talents that went into making the items. Good Luck. Please let us know how this worked out for you.

Just be careful. Sounds like a good opportunity, but check and make sure you can produce at the rate he expects. It would stress me out if I couldn't make deadlines. Be sure to put everything in writing and make sure you understand each other in what is expected. I'd try it and see if it would work.

BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been burnt a lot of times by things like this. But the best advice, get it in writing, notorized, and a copy to someone you trust. If this guy is real you have a great thing for yourself. GOOD LUCK

I think I would let him commission a few quilts from me first!This way you get paid quicker (you don't have to wait for it to be sold). Don't forget to settle what your hourly charge is (it's not minimum wage, but higher). Also, remember you are a craftsman (just like woodworkers, seamstress) charge accordingly. Also, it gives you both a chance to see how the work goes (is he okay with your timetable for quilts being completed, what grade of fabric is he providing, etc.) Be sure to tell him that you need 100% cotton or if you are doing a special quilt what fabrics to get or offer to go with him to buy fabric the first few times. This could be a great experience.
