I am in the process of doing a business plan for a long arm quilting service. Does anybody know (or have a good guess) how many quilters there are in the US??

21.3 million as of 2003. http://answers.google.com/answers/th...id/585985.html

Thank you....that didn't take long for an answer. I appreciate it.

Nobody asked me in a survey if I was a quilter so I'm adding my number to that 21.3 mil! :)

I didn't get asked either so I'll add you and me to that number.

I've never been asked either. I doubt that figure is very accurate.

I agree with you but it is a number and I didn't pull it out of thin air but I will certainly put a qualifier on it for my business plan.

I don't show up on any survey either, and since I will use second hand fabric, the survey can't always use New Fabric Sales figures for estimates either.
