Default Questions for Longarm Quilters

If you LA quilt for others professionally, are you quilting from your home, or do you have a store front site? If you quilt from home, are you in a city/town/urban location, or are you in a rural setting? We're considering moving our quilting business to our home (country setting) from our quilt shop, and Kevin is worried that quilts will not come in as often as they do in our store front setting. He feels the exposure from being in town on main street is what draws in business. I think the quilting business would work from home, so I'm looking for feedback from those who have their business at home. Does word of mouth about your quilting bring in the customers? Or do you have to do a lot of advertising to get enough work? Are you able to support yourself from your home quilting business?

Lots of questions I know, but we're trying to decide what to do, and these are the questions we're asking ourselves. Thanks in advance!
