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!

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.
