An acquaintance recently lost her "life partner" (I did not know her partner) and when she found out that I was a quilter, she asked if I would make a throw out of the old clothes. Besides time being a concern on my part...and yes I would charge for all materials to do this..(and charge for the long arm services)...what guidelines would you present to the customer??

I am brainstorming here:

Woven Shirts only. (I don't want to mix weights nor do I want to get into pants/jeans, knits)

Clothes must be clean/ washed!!

Clothes must in good condition. (I can fussy-cut around stains)

Do you suggest using a stabilizing product? (not even sure I want to put a lot of effort in this to be honest.)

I just want to make sure that I am on the right track should I decide to do this project.

What else am I missing here??? I want this to be fairly quick and effortless. Not even sure I like the idea of "clothes" for quilts but that is a personal bias.
thanks
