Hi
just thought of something, on another board that I joined, one women reached out in NY to get help with her Bailey longarm
and a women from CT went to her house to help her out - only about 1 hr drive for her - try reaching out to see if anyone on the this board lives close to you. I live in NJ and there is no one close to me. Good Luck!

hey, don't look at me---i'm back east!
anyway, it's a DONE DEAL, right?
you WILL love it, & consider how lucky are you, right?

this is a good idea but so far I haven't seen anyone on here from where I live. We had a LQS buy and set up a large quilting frame w/longarm and said they had someone learning so that they could teach classes on it; that was a year ago and I asked recently and they said they don't have any classes and then I noticed the setup being for sale. I don't know but maybe who ever was learning quit or something.
