I mainly bought mine to finish my own quilts. After sending all my tops out to be quilted I did the math and my machine is paying for itself. I do also quilt for close friends and family and do not do custom work. If they want a panto or free motion edge to edge then I will quilt for them. I do not have a "business" so to speak and by word of mouth I am as busy as I want to be. I recommend MQR forum for a place to answer any questions you might have concerning the business side of long arming. It is also an excellent supportive group for any thing longarm related.
