Quilting is a well known hobby and crafts pastime, but is also known to be a very good business. It’s quite easy to get started quilting on a machine and it can be a lot of fun to play with color and different kinds of fabric even without using a fancy pattern. It is a great hobby because it combines traditional patterns and techniques with modern equipment.

A quilt is really just two pieces of material sewn together with some kind of batting or stuffing in between to make the finished quilt warmer. There’s no rule that says the top of a quilt has to be pieced or that there has to be a lot of elaborate sewing to hold the pieces of the quilt together. It’s just two layers with something between them.

Starting out a business with quilting is easy as long as you have the love for crafts and have a creative and free mind to go with. Quilting can be very intimidating because crafters think that a lot of intricate skill and precision is required. While this is certainly true of complex designed quilts, there are quilts you can make with no more skill than knowing how to sew a straight line.
