Stop! Look! Listen!

Will there be regulations that restrict you from doing this from your home?  Or in another location? Will you need a business license? 

When I operated a dressmaking business with gift shop and later my quiltmaking business from our home, a number of years ago, there were no regulations that prevented this.  However, would there be regulations now that directed the size and type of sign I placed before our home, objected to deliveries and pick-ups, and raised complaints because too many people and traffic came to my door?

These are factors to consider, if you’re going to expand your quilting interests.  Some home and apartment leases may even object to online businesses, particularly if they involve pick-up and deliveries. 

I’ve written about this topic at Home Biz Notes as well as here at Qulting and Patchwork…articles you may want to glance over as you accumulate more information if considering turning your quilting hobby into a money making venture.
