And even when quilting IS a business, very few of those manifesto points are beneficial to the innovative, daring, intuitive, artistic sensibilities of a great many of todays quilters. I'm glad they work for the OP, but they would surely suck all the joy out of quilting for me, and the very life out of my quilts as a result. Choose what works best for you, just be happy with the path you take.
