I remember reading on a LA-ers site once, that edge to edge was her bread and butter, and freehand work was her passion financed by her edge to edge! Her meaning was that a Lot of time and prep work goes into custom quilting, and most people won't/can't afford to pay for the time put into custom quilts.
You would have the basic investment of the machine and robotics, then the patterns...lots and lots of patterns..and they are anywhere from 15-25 dollars each on average...try getting more than a couple customers to want the same pattern! You will have lots of money invested..you just need to sit down and crunch the numbers and see if it's something that you could make money doing.Only you can decide if it would be a viable source of income in your retirement .
