Kathy and Judy have been there, done that. They knew they wanted the freedom of having their own business, and jumped into it headfirst. They made mistake after mistake, but built a thriving machine quilting business through hard work and perseverance. With "How to Start Your Own Machine Quilting Business," you can learn from their mistakes and get off to a running start.

Reason three: I know starting a business is tough enough already - getting all the necessary paperwork done, buying the equipment and supplies, learning the ins-and-outs of your quilting machine - but the toughest part for many new business owners is marketing. You'll learn how to do all of this, but you'll also get the advice you need to get the customers to beat a path to your door.

This book delivers the step-by-step instructions you need to get your machine quilting business up and running in the least amount of time. 2) Written with the novice in mind Never run a business before?

This book provides an easy-to-read primer to help guide you through some difficult concepts of starting a machine quilting business and running it effectively. 3) Excellent marketing section Without customers, your machine quilting business will quickly die. That's why there's an entire section dedicated to marketing your new business. You'll see which advertising and promotional techniques will be the most useful and effective methods of getting the word out about your new machine quilting business. 4) Industry statistics and demographics It's tough to market your machine quilting business unless you know what your average customer looks like. Discover some interesting facts about the quilting market, and how you can get involved in this $21 billion plus market. 5) Packed with valuable resources There's no way that any one book can give you every little bit of information you will need to run your machine quilting business long term. So, what I've done is provided some additional resources that will give you more information about some key concepts, including running a business and finding suppliers. 6) How to get financing and write a business plan Probably the scariest part of starting a new business is getting the money together for the initial inventory and improvements on the space. I offer sound advice on how to pull together a business plan that will go a long way towards getting the loan you may need for your machine quilting business. 7) Day-to-day business advice Running a business is not a walk in the park. In fact, it can be one of the most difficult things you'll ever do. But, with the right planning and attitude, you can take a lot of the "sting" out of the more mundane tasks, like record keeping, accounting, hiring, and more. 8) Equipment and inventory You want to choose the right equipment and supplies for your new machine quilting business. You'll get equipment and supply purchasing hints to help you through the difficult process of stocking your machine quilting business with the right stuff. Equipment and supply purchasing hints: Choose the right quilting equipment and supplies for your business Quilt pricing tips: Learn how to price your quilts and quilting services 9) How to price your services Pricing is a subject that comes up again and again in the Quilting Biz User Forum and in emails from members of the Quilting Biz email list. Price correctly, and you will ensure profits for your business, and attract customers who appreciate the hard work involved in what you do. Price the wrong way, and you'll lose money and attract bargain hunters - the worst kind of customer for long-term success. And much, much more...
