I do have one pressing question though. How does one go about getting more training? I have participated in several quilting classes over the years but how can I learn more? I have the basics of quilting, but where can I learn more about calcuating yardage, finding wholesale sources, etc. Thanks in advance.

I own a longarm and have been teaching a few classes. There is money to be made, however I find that the thing I love the best is the people that are associated with quilting. My advise to you would be...start now...before you retire on a very small scale, join a guild, host your own quilt show, start building now, get your name out there and you will know what part of quilting that you enjoy and then move forward. Maybe owning a shop, where you get to spend money in fabric, hiring the right people (sales, bookkeeper, teachers) to help would be ideal. Then you can have fun behind the scenes!
