Just wondering if there is a market for handquilting? i am trying to find ways to make some extra money for my long arm....so many people around here know i quilt but they dont want to pay the money so therefore i wont make quilts for people here...so i thought maybe i could offer handquilting for others...is there a market? i quilt 8-10 stitches per inch but very consistent stitch length...or is this not good enough to quilt for others? i love the look of a handquilted quilt.

Tisha, I think your stitch length is great- I don't know if there's a market but I bet there is. Hand quilting is so beautiful!!
Hope others can tell you more :) |

What about in your town????

8-10 stitches per inch is VERY respectable! Most only achieve 6...
I don't know what the market would be here on the board, what would you charge for the service? |
Try contacting some quilt designers?

good luck too you with this. I have been hand quilting for peolpe for years. I can not get much work. but maybe in your area you will have better luck. Just so you know I'm not a bad quilter I'm quilting 12 to 14 stitch preinch. and have won prizes for the quilting i have done.

I would think there would be. Maybe you could contact some quilt shops, or even guilds, and ask around?
