The Long Arm Business: An Investment in Yourself

We've talked a lot about long arms and quilting machines. What we haven't talked about is the long arm business. 

Many quilters are really toppers. They love to make tops. It's fun to see the pieces go together. But they get hung up on the quilting. If you're quilting either traditionally or by home machine, it can really take some time. Is the baby due? Is the wedding next week? Do you need it done now?

Like everything else, if you have the right tools, it's so much easier. A long arm makes it possible to quilt that babe in a day or less. 

You might want a long arm just for your own work. But many quilters have found it a lucrative way to help other quilters and make some money as well. Most people who quilt professionally have a back pile of quilts people need quilted. It's a nice way to make some money doing something  you truly love. 

The nicest thing about the long arm business is that there's room for everyone. Art quilters who need special hand guided quilting. Simple quilting for comfort quilts. Digitized quilting for people who want that quilt done now.Elegant feathers. Basic ditch quilting.  There's a whole range of skill levels and all of them are perfect for someone.

So if you were thinking about a long arm for your own work, that could translate into working with it for others as well.
