I started my business while I was still working full time. I quilted at night and on weekends for about 2 years until I could afford to quilt my job and I had some word of mouth customers. Now I use the social media's to my advantage and I am doing very well. But...... get out of debt before you quit. Quilting can be very expensive, and by then you will know if you really want to do this as a full time job.
