Billy, I bought a long arm 10 years ago for $38,000. I had no intention of starting a business but my husband had just passed away and I wanted to do my quilts and quilts for charity. Long story short with no advertising or effort on my part I made enough money to cover the cost of the machine in 2 years. I only do edge to edge, all computer driven and I don’t work all the time. I was amazed how many people just wanted someone who wasn’t going to keep their quilt for months. Friends just kept asking and telling their friends. The Stetler I have was easy to learn, as I’m sure many are, but they do quickly pay for themselves. Good luck
I have to say I really loved your coverage of the market and look forward to next year. As a non-vendor person that can't attend, I love all the behind scenes and not a lot of people do it on youtube! Lots of instagram but not detailed videos like yours.
Good morning! I love to start my day with the three of you! What a great way to start my week!! Love the family interactions. Thank you for all you do and share with us.❤❤
I really enjoyed this video as I always do. Love the interaction with you three!! The Moda minute was interesting and I was pleasantly pleased to hear about the Fireside backing fabric. Thank you. I was also loved the fact that you shared the names of some of the quilt shops around the country. And I was so tickled when you mentioned JK Quilts! It's my favorite quilt shop in our area and the girls are so talented and gifted and a great resource. It's a great shop! Thank you for all that you do.
Great video, and first on the list was my FAVORITE quilt shop ever in Colchester! I moved out of state and still order fabric from them, so cool to know they were at quilt market :) Enjoying the Beautiful quilts to see on the wall and table, thank you so much!
Such a fun video! Thank you for showing the Fireside. It's one of my favourite backings. The first time I used it was 8 years ago. I love it! It's so nice to see all the new (and very pretty) colours.
So much fun! Gore OKlahoma is a very small town in Eastern Oklahoma (the green country of Oklahoma). Very close to me. They are very sweet people. Thank you for mentioning them!
Good Morning from Southwest Kansas 🌻🐝🌻 Loved the podcast today well love all of them! Made my morning!❤ The three of you had so much information on the Quilt Market Festival. Thank You!❤
Great video. Thank you for sharing your experience at market. I agree with Billy…he should go to quilt market every year and it would be great if he went around and introduced everyones booths. Loved the shout out to all the quilt shops and to my surprise I know one of them the quilted goat in Clovis great family met them at a quilt show in September.
Love the mods minute. Thanks for the update, really warm fuzzy backs are becoming so popular! Side ..is Chelsie alright? She seemed so quiet, and reserved today? Blessings
I love JK Quilt shop. They go above and beyond for their customer service and have the best fabric choices. If you're ever in Meridian, Idaho stop by. You will be very pleased.
Is there a guide somewhere to help me figure out yardage when buying a 60" wide backing? I love the idea of the Moda Fireside, but am wondering how to piece it together for a backing?
I love working with Fireside on the back Because....I quilt my own on my domestic. I will not do minky. It is too messy and I have to get my machine cleaned after. Fireside, while not as soft as minky, it is softer than flannel. I even do some big stitch embellishment with it. Love Fireside.
The fireside looks great but I wonder 1) will there ever be prints? 2) what is the cost especially compared to widebacks and the current competitor backing. Great show as always🥰
Good morning, is the moda fireside like fleece? Or does it feel like fleece? And is it less pile than cuddle? Very excited to try it, thanks for sharing.
I'm interested in the Moda fireside fabric but can a polyester backing work with an all cotton pieced top? I'm concerned about how it will wash, dry and shrink. I usually use a cotton flannel for the back. Thanks
I didn't even know Fireside existed until today. What colors would best coordinate with Bountiful Blooms? I've been hoarding a jellyroll and am about to break into it. 🍂🍁🧡
Thank you for another fun episode. I appreciated the Moda Minute and the update on Moda Fireside. It is my "go to" backing for the quilts I give away to those going through cancer treatments. Do you know if Moda has any plans to make Fireside wider than 60 inches?
You said the Fireside was Polyester? How does that work with a cotton top with shrinkage? The cotton top will shring and the Polester backing will not.
Love the Magnolia quilt ❤. I made it in Strawberry Lemonade but haven’t had it quilted yet… what is the top quilt behind Chelsi called? It looks beautiful.
Wow, great show , but you really butchered the Thanksgiving dinner!! It’s ok-we all have different tastes. I’m thankful for you wonderfully talented quilting people. Thanks for all you do for us!! ❤
Enjoy your video so much. What is the name of Billy and Isabel’s podcast cast. I played the section back where Billy said the name 3 times and could not understand the full name. Thanks ❤❤❤

How great of you to mention the owners of the quilt shops you talked with!

I second that comment. J K Quilts goes above and beyond to help their customers. Love their customer service.
Beautiful quilts surrounding you ladies, love them all. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

Your quilt market videos were wonderful. Loved seeing each designer showing their new creations and fabric lines. Just informal and fun.

Wow, you guys JK quilting in Meridian Idaho is very close to me and I had no idea. Thanks
Enjoyed the podcast especially the Moda Minute and hearing about quilt shops around the country, as I’m squaring up HST blocks 😊
Thanks to looking for your fabrics I found a quilt shop 1 mile from my home!
Chelsi, I love your Bountiful Baskets quilt 😊
Love the mods minute. Thanks for the update, really warm fuzzy backs are becoming so popular!
Side ..is Chelsie alright? She seemed so quiet, and reserved today? Blessings
Yes Billy you need go enjoy your Video at market
I have used fireside and love it. Glad for more colours
I was recently in Canada and bought the “Fireside “ fabric. As soon as I touched it I knew I had to have the navy blue.
I love JK Quilt shop. They go above and beyond for their customer service and have the best fabric choices. If you're ever in Meridian, Idaho stop by. You will be very pleased.

Great idea to give a shout out to the quilt shops and owners. Wish you had provided their names and website link it would be especially nice. ❤
What is the fabric and wall hanging pattern above the sewing machine by Billy? Love it!
The Moda tour was really great! Loved seeing the various designers.
Side note: Did you guys get snow in Las Vegas? Is that normal?
The fireside looks great but I wonder 1) will there ever be prints? 2) what is the cost especially compared to widebacks and the current competitor backing. Great show as always🥰

Chelsi you looked a bit tired or upset today. Hope everything is ok. Take care of yourself!
I didn't even know Fireside existed until today. What colors would best coordinate with Bountiful Blooms? I've been hoarding a jellyroll and am about to break into it. 🍂🍁🧡
Billy - could you please link / share the information for the shops that Sherri & Chelsi shared as well?

Hi guys! Would you please tell me what the quilt on the wall is? The one to Billy’s left, hanging above the sewing machine. Thank you!
Love that new pattern on the wall!!! Will it be released with the fabric line or before?
There's a link in the description box for it
Love the Magnolia quilt ❤. I made it in Strawberry Lemonade but haven’t had it quilted yet… what is the top quilt behind Chelsi called? It looks beautiful.
would you wash the flannel like backing before you quilt it?
Jk quilts in Idaho is the best
Chelsi, I hope you're okay. You seemed a little 'distant' in this video.
When are the lovely backings going to ship?
Wow, great show , but you really butchered the Thanksgiving dinner!! It’s ok-we all have different tastes. I’m thankful for you wonderfully talented quilting people. Thanks for all you do for us!! ❤
What did you say your podcast was, Billy? I tried finding it, but couldn't.
Hope Chelsi is alright.
Billy, START A LIST OF WHAT YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IN THE NEXT QUILT MARKET VIDEOS !
Enjoy your video so much. What is the name of Billy and Isabel’s podcast cast. I played the section back where Billy said the name 3 times and could not understand the full name. Thanks ❤❤❤
I think he said "The Gringo and his Girlfriend".
Who or what is H&H?
It’s another quilt market in Chicago
Worried about Chelsea ☹️
