I think a lot depends on the population in your area - do you have enough people to support such a business and do you have a lot of quilters? Do you have people who would be open to learning to quilt? Are you thinking small or large? Would you be buying enough to get the lowest wholesale prices? Are you ready and willing to take on the headaches of owning a business? Yes, it can be a pleasure, but it's also a 24/7/365 thing that is just always there on your mind. Can you tell I own my own business?
