If you choose to do quilts for others and the above comments about skill level are very good things to consider, then you will also have to manage the business side of it, keeping track of income and expenses for tax purposes etc. I was close to being sold on buying one last fall but decided against it because I decided I would rather not give up the space and money. Since I do a lot of baby quilts and other smaller projects I decided to rent time on a machine for the occasional larger quilt that I want to finish. Just some other things to consider.
