I bought a Tin Lizzie 18 in 2009 with the intention only to quilt for my own use. Last fall I fell in love with a Babylock Crown Jewel with computerized ability. My DH is now using the Lizzie to make his own beautiful creations. I quilt for myself, and occasionally my friends will come over and use the machines. I think often about starting a retirement business, but as someone already said, I would hate to turn my beloved hobby into something I "had" to do and add the stress of worrying about mistakes on a customer's quilt.
