T minus 4 Days...

And so my long arm quilting adventure begins in four days.  For the last twenty years, I have dreamed of owning my own long arm quilting service and/or quilt shop.  I have searched and researched, tested and retested, and asked a myriad of questions about every brand-name long arm quilting machine made.  It was a difficult decision, but I finally chose a HandiQuilter Fusion 24.  This long arm machine comes with Pro-Stitcher software that should allow me to shorten the learning curve and begin to take in customer quilts about six to eight months quicker than if I chose a machine without the software.

I have so many questions and insecurities about starting this business.  I have a deep passion and love for quilting however I sometimes doubt my ability to make this a viable business.  This blog will be a diary of my journey as a new professional sewist, business owner, and entrepreneur. If you take this journey with me and have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me or comment.  I would love to discuss all facets of this process and would welcome any insight. 

Twende bas!  (Okay, let's go!)
