I have had great success selling on Craig's List. I used to be a cop, and I am all about safety, but I find my buyers through my quilt guild and others in the area. Generally speaking they are "safe" - or have your husband home and have people come in the evening. Set all the fabric up in a front room, closest to the door. Have the fabric pre-measured and pinned on. Buyers are going to want to know how much fabric is in a "piece."

If you have a "sale" - you could have it when it is warmer and have in your Garage. People are going to want to closely look at the fabric before buying. If you send out some e-mails to the local quilt guild newsletter people or guild president's (do a Google search on the guild name - easy to find info). I ran mine this way on 2 Saturdays in early May. Sold. $3,000.00 worth of stuff. Plus, you can promote your longarm business (If that is what I see in the photo) Good luck
