Yes, I have a longarm and I LOVE it. I keep busy with customer quilts. I really enjoy seeing all the different type quilts come in. I do pantos, custom and heirloom quilting. My business comes by word of mouth. There are a lot of longarm quilters in my area. I don't know how busy the others are but I stay busy enough that I have often referred a customer to another quilter in the area. There have been at least 12 people in the last couple of years who were wanting to purchase a longarm or had a longarm and wanted to come to my studio and watch me work to get pointers or advice. Longarming isn't for everyone. And I now longarm quilt for some of those who came thinking they wanted to longarm their quilts. I charge for the quilting labor, the batting and the thread and have to collect sales tax on the batting and thread, (unless my customer brings their own batting and/or thread.) Just love what I do and do what I love.
