Oh thank you for this video! I have ordered my Gammil and I'm just SO nervous about starting this as a business. Excited and nervous. You are just so sweet and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video.
You do 5 quilts a day?!?!? You are a machine!! How many hours do you work a day!?!? I do 1 a day or 1 every other day. You rock!! Came across your videos, watching while I work!! Longarmer watching a longarmer!! And I tell my son it’s silly to watch videos of gamers! :)
I will work like 12 hours to get as many quilts done in one day.. it’s not good though then I struggle to do another day cause I pushed it ... he o love longarming videos😂😊too
Lorena, many thanks for this video of tips and your honesty & openness. I was struggling a few years back & can certainly relate. I'm glad you've come through and can now enjoy the fruits of your labour while doing something you clearly enjoy so much. xx
What a sweet soul you are. I’ve been watching you and learning. I’m still contemplating taking customer quilts after I retire, just to fund my habit. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad I have.. I really am.. few have been problem clients I can count them on one hand.. I just prayed and asked God to bring me work if he wants me to have it!
I Just subscribed! I love your authenticity! You're so real in your story telling. My husband and I lost our home, car, and jobs between 2008 and 2009. So i can really relate. I love crochet but never thought about doing it to make money at that time. Now I have a graphic design business, and I do custom apparel all from the comfort of my own home. My husband and I missed so much with our kids! So being here for them is one of the top reasons why we are home based. I love your channel! We are going to strart offerings embroidery soon and im going to learn how to do quilts. My grandmother does them she was sad and told me she thinks the sewing in our family will die when she does because no one does it.... well I am about to and I can learn from her! ❤
Omg! That made me cry ! You are so wonderful!! You have help me so much! We have been saving money up to build a room on so I can get a long arm ! Should get to do this spring! Hugs!!
Many thanks for your advice & insight, I love listening to you and did so for this video while pinning a quilt to my long arm...I haven’t yet sewn my tops & backings to the zip leaders yet, but I might like you showed in a previous video....that rip part still makes me nervous! 😂 My favorite quote of yours near the end of this video: doing what you love can be a treasure to your life & to your soul...and to you. Love that! Thanks again, you rock! 🙂
Lorena, you are a beautiful person inside and out. If I were younger or circumstances different, I would try what you are doing and invest in a longarm. Maybe one day I'll get to send you one of my quilt tops to quilt. Where are you from? I'm in Louisiana. I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's day and weekend. 💗😊💗
I had to close my store front because of the overhead. I tried for 4 years to make my business grow at that one shop. I live in Southern Illinois a poor part of state. I moved my business to my house and I'm doing ok. I'm 67 so I don't have to depend on what my quilting brings in, but it helps with extra stuff. I have been sewing since I was 5. It is my favorite past time. I was a business supervisor at a hospital in the Chgo area. I traded it for a sewing job in a factory in Indiana, I loved it. I use to tell all the other girls I loved my job. They would just tell me to shut up or give me the look. Lol
Oh thank you so much. the more I tried to slow down the more my clients showed up asking me to do their quilts. I feel its a testimony of my love for them and the worK I have done for the.
Thank you so much for making your videos!

Ahh people just don’t know the gift of working and the gift of being passionate about doing something!
I don't quilt for others, but I'm glad you built a nice business for yourself.
