Hi there Chuck,
I have just signed up for your seven-day e-mail course, but wanted to ask a quick question with regards to defining a target audience… How would you describe the kind of people / customers that will buy patchwork quilts?

I recently received the following question about making the most of your booth space at a craft or quilt show:
Hi, Chuck.
I really have enjoyed all your articles. They have been very helpful. I am new to the whole craft scene having just recently begun to sell my quilts, etc.
I have participated in a couple of arts and crafts fairs but am very unhappy with my booth. Can you give me any suggestions on how to display my quilts — both baby quilts and regular quilts — in an attractive, eye-catching manner?
I will really appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you.

Which type of long arm quilting machine do you recommend? And which frame works best?
