I was laid off a few weeks ago after 13 years at the same company. I really
don't want to do the computer thing anymore, it's way too stressful. I think
this is definately the way to go. I have been in textiles/fiber on the side
for almost 10 years, so it is definately a natural fit for me
Thanks for the response, this is a very friendly list.

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
