Good Luck! I love to see women start up a new business! Bravo!
i did a couple test patterns for a friend,small christmas wallhangings with fusable applique..she was going to teach a class, and wanted to make sure they were right, and the language/instructions were clear..it was fun.
I wish you the best!

i do alot of store displays and pattern testing so, when the time is right if you need more testers give me a hollar, always looking forward to trying out new patterns : )!
best of luck
maybe you could start with a couple tutorials here on the forum to practice clear instructions...

Good luck. I belong to a group of pattern designers and pattern testers on yahoo groups. They are very helpful.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quiltdesigners/
and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/QuiltPatternTesters/

Both were going well until my computer died and the company repairing it took 4 months to fix it. But then my enthusiasm had waned to the point I couldn't get started again. The computer is on the fritz again two months later.

I tried and was just about there, but the Microsoft update for word destroyed my ability to see the pictures I inserted in the documents.

The point is don't get discouraged and back up everything so you don't lose it.

Good luck.

I'm going to join the quilt design group and see where that takes me. I could use any help I can get. Thanks!

That Yahoo! group has been offering me some good feedback. I know I got some ways to go, but I think I'm getting a better grasp on things

When I get there, I'll do another post requesting testers. I think it won't be for a while though, but I do appreciate you expressing an interest to test my patterns.

Count me in for pattern tester! Unless it's applique... *shudder*
