Love Quilting
Decide to Start a Quilting Business Today!
Even if you have never made a quilt, you can start a quilting business.
We've been taught all our lives to share - share toys, share money, share food. Why not share your quilting knowledge? You can start a quilting business by sharing what you know about quilting.
You don't have to be a veteran quilter with 50 years of sewing experience to have sound advice to share, either. If you have quilted for a month, you know more about quilting than someone picking up a needle and thread for the first time. Start a quilting business that teaches basic skills.
Your most basic quilting information could teach some important skills. A lot of wannabe quilters won't even start a quilting project because the chore of selecting appropriate fabrics seems like such a daunting task. Perhaps you start a membership based website that offers quilting tips to beginners about how to start a quilt. You could also start your quilting business with an old-fashioned paper printed newsletter that you mail out monthly or quarterly to beginning quilters. Some of your topics could be how to select a quilt pattern, how to select fabrics, which threads to use, etc.
Of course, the longer you quilt, the more information you can share with your subscribers. But you sharing information is not the only kind of quilting business you can start.
If you are like most quilters or crafters, you have a lot of leftover fabrics taking up storage space! You could start a quilting business that concentrates on selling your fabric leftovers (and just think how much fun it would be to spend the money you make on new fabric)!
Maybe you could start a quilting business by developing a quilters consignment store online. People could pay you to sell their leftover fabrics, threads and other notions.
If you love quilts, but haven't ever quilted and are afraid to try, you can still start a quilting business. You could coordinate quilters retreats for others. You can make arrangements at a local hotel or bed and breakfast to get great room rates for any overnight guests. Reserve a location, plan a few games, prepare snacks, whatever the quilters need you to do. They'll benefit because they got a retreat without having to do a lot of the work and you will benefit by being around quilters and quilting. Maybe you'll even be encouraged to start your own quilt project!
The two ideas that usually come to mind when people think about starting a quilting business are to sell quilts or to provide a quilting service for tops that have already been pieced. Both are good ideas.
If you choose to sell quilts, you have a lot of options. You could sell only appliqu?uilts (like pieced quilts, baby quilts, etc.). You could sell them online, through a small newspaper ad (or word of mouth since that's free), or at area craft shows. If selling quilts at a show, take a project along to work on between customers. When shoppers see you working on a project, it draws their interest more keenly to your work which will hopefully lead to a sell.
Don't let lack of experience be an obstacle between you and your quilting business. Your quilting business can grow right along with your quilting skill level. All you really need to start a quilting business is a love for the art and a desire to succeed - you don't even need a lot of money. If you've been thinking about starting a quilting business, decide today to do it. You'll be glad you did!

quilting question?
I love to quilt--love picking out fabrics, putting them together, and the sewing process, but I absolutely hate measuring and cutting fabric. Does anyone know of a product that you can just line up on the fabric and cut strips out of?? My strips for log cabin quilts always end up being crooked.
I bought my mom an Alto's Quilt Cut system for Christmas. We'd seen it at some of the larger quilt shows and thought it was wonderful. It IS good, but there are some problems - namely storage and price.
Also, here are some hints to help with cutting the fabric (using any ruler and mat).
1. Fold the fabric so the grain is straight. If you don't do this, you'll have V shaped strips. Iron the fabric so there aren't any creases, fold it in half and line up the selvage edges, then hold it up and shake it gently to see how the bottom folded edge sways. You can tell if it's crooked - just slide the front layer of fabric left or right (always keeping the selvage edges together) until it is smooth. Then you can start cutting. You'd be amazed at how many fabrics are put on the bolt crooked. I've lost nearly a quarter of a yard with some of the cheaper fabrics.
2. Put some Omni InvisiGrip on the bottom of your rulers. It is a clear plastic that adheres to your ruler and keeps it from sliding on the fabric. It makes a HUGE difference.
3. Cut the strips a little larger than you need, sew a round of your log cabin, then press. Trim the excess to make a perfect square exactly the size it should be. Sew the next round, press and trim. This way you'll have perfectly sized blocks without worrying about perfect strips and perfect seams.
