yes, you can do well.  It depends on how much you expect, or hope to make, 
though. It depends on what your other life activities are, if you are otherwise 
employed and how much energy that takes out of you each day.  There is a 
learning curve, but if you love textiles as I do, that is the fun part.  I get 
lost for hours working on my embroidery and designs..   I work out of my home 
and have dedicated 1 bedroom to the Embroidery office.  My son put in an extra 
electrical circuit or 2 (which was easy as that bedroom is adjacent to the 
garage)...to make sure I would have enough electricity (not that it takes that 
much, but my house is over 50 years old), and networked my 2 computers, Ms. 
Amaya, and my printer.  email me privately if you wish.  
   
  with respect to deliveries - I joined Embroidery Trade Association and signed 
up for a FedEX ground account with them.   - much more economical than the 
USPS, tracking numbers to boot!
   
  Best of Luck!

  Thanks for the quick response.  It's good to hear that you are able to work 
from your home and keep business profitable.  They say the hardest person to 
sell is yourself, and I'm very close to making the decision to go with it.

  Kathy,
  Without a doubt you can make a lot of money out of your home.  I joined the 
local chamber of commerce and from that have lots of Bank employees, real 
estate agents, contractors, insurance companies, radio station employees and 
even the chamber office manager.  I work 2 days at the local hospital and get a 
large number of stuff from that.  I have so much stuff waiting to be stitched 
out I really shouldn't be sitting here on this computer, but I do this while I 
eat.  I'll be in the shop tonight until 9-10.  The only problem I find not 
having a store front is delivering all this stuff when it's done.  But, I try 
to be a bit creative and have people meet me at the grocery store, or deliver 
stuff while out running errands, etc!  HTH

I am new to the list.  I am looking at the Amaya XT on Monday, and would 
like any informaction from people that have that machine.

My plan is to get one machine to start and work out of my home.  I have an 
Bernina with an embroidery unit that I've been doing some side work with for 
the last few years.  I keep turning down work because my machine can not do 
caps, jacket backs or larger items.  Is it possible to get enough work 
without a store front to make a decent living?  I know that I will have to 
go out and find customers, I have a lot of connections with small business 
owners and plan to work that market.  I also have connections with horse and 
dog clubs as well as local barns.

Thanks in advance.
Kathy
