Your Market
Do a little research to learn how far
quilt finishers are backlogged with orders in your area. Is it
one month? Six months? More? There's a tremendous
demand in many areas for machine quilting services.
If there's a demand
in your area, even our top-of-the-line Millennium machine can pay for
itself in just over a one year.

| 3. How Quilting Makes
Money |
|
| Nationally, quilters receive an average
of $135 in fees for quilting a simple queen-sized quilt (90" x 100").
And that doesn't include markups on batting and materials. Finish just 2 1/2 quilts every week and you'll earn $17,400 the first year –
enough to pay off the cost of the premium APQS Millennium.
Other APQS machines pay for themselves even faster.
Plus, where demand permits, you can
stay as busy as you'd like. Some APQS quilters finish over 300
quilts per year...learn more.
