Quilt Pattern Testers Needed
Paisley Patch Quilts, LLC (PPQ) is looking for volunteers to help test our own quilt patterns prior to sending them to a publisher. This step requires each pattern to be proofread for grammar, typos, image clarity, flow, and ease of understanding. The more detailed the feedback the more precise we can make the pattern for all levels of expertise.
When patterns are ready for testing, we will contact several people from the volunteer pool. You’ll be provided with details such as an example image, approximate finished size, fabric requirements, and expected deadline. Then as a tester, you can reply if you want to join or opt out of the test group for that pattern release.
What we require from our testers:
- Non-Disclosure Agreement – By volunteering to be a pattern tester, you agree to and understand the following:
- Patterns are the property of Paisley Patch Quilts, LLC
- Patterns must be kept confidential
- Patterns are protected by copyright
- Patterns are not to be copied or shared without prior written consent
- Material – You’ll provide your own materials
- If fabric is used from tester's stash, please pre-cut down to the suggested yardage. We need to know what works and does not work in the pattern including yardage recommendations
- Follow the pattern – testers must follow the instructions as written
- Deadline – Ability to complete the tested quilt top, provide feedback, and submit photos by the given due date
- Quilt top – follow the pattern directions to complete the quilt top
- Evaluation – submit the form with your suggested edits, comments, questions, and/or concerns
- Photos – Send 1 to 2 high-resolution photos of the completed quilt top with your evaluation form. The quality of photos submitted is extremely important to us, as we may use your test top photo in the final draft of the pattern
- Location - testers need not be local. Most everything can be done via electronic communication
