I would love to take that class. But I fear that there are no quilt shops around here that do that. I think that if a sewing machine shop that sells long arms would offer classes and use of a long arm for a small fee that they would make a killing. mostly because many of us quilters would love to own a long arm but having access to rent time on one would be the next best thing for us. How many on here would be willing to pay like 20 dollars or so plus the cost of the thread to use a long arm to finish their own quilt? This is a good idea because it gets people to try the long arm and get that bug and maybe in the future purchase their own. Much like an embroidery machine for signing their quilts. This is something to suggest to your local sewing machine shop or LQS.
