When starting a quilting business (as with any business) you need a clear vision as to what sort of business you want to pursue and a plan as to how you will achieve this. Here are some options to consider:
- Making quilts to order - in order to achieve this you will need to establish your reputation as a quilter and build up a portfolio. You will need to agree a price with the customer beforehand, so you will need to become quite adept at accurately estimating the cost of your materials.
- Making decorative items to sell - you could sell these through craft stores or through websites such as Etsy. Making smaller items increases your options for selling.
- Become a quilting tutor - there are always people wanting to learn new quilting techniques.
- Sell quilting patterns - there are several options for this. You could sell your designs to quilting magazines. Alternatively you could make up a number of patterns into an e-book and sell via a website.
You may want to keep your options open and try more than one these strategies to see what works for you.
