Debbie,
I, too, set up my home for classes.  Besides having it properly wired so that 
you can iron without overload, make sure you have surge protectors and that 
no one with an electronic or computerized machine is forced to be on end 
plug! CHECK with your insurance company - home insurance will not cover 
people for liability, fire, or anything on your equipment once you engage in 
an in-home business.  Especially consider whether you want to allow people to 
cut with rotary cutters, everyone uses this convenience - the insurance 
companies consider it a hazard.  Talk to a commercial and home insurance 
agent as rules and laws vary from state to state and there are many financial 
implications.  Also check with your zoning restrictions - it only takes one 
neighbor to complain when you have more than "x" number of cars parked in 
front for business.  Once you get past TAX, ZONING, INSURANCE regulations 
consider comfort.  Sounds silly, but depending upon the age of your clientele 
the type of seating, height of machines and ability to stand and move without 
knocking into something determine whether or not they will return for 
classes.  And we thought personality, creativity and a desire to share were 
all that mattered!  Just some thoughts for practical preconsideration...not 
for discouragement

Hello Mary and Thank You for the info. All that you said is very important
and that is why Iam not for sure I want to start this. I thought about
staying with alterations but as you know, alterations does not pay that
well. Thanks again of your input. Sounds you know exactly what it is all
about!
