That sounds like such a neat idea. I mentioned renting time on a long arm to the owner of the LQS where I go to a sit and sew on Wednesdays. She nearly had a heart attack! She would have to give lessons on how to use the machine (big bucks); she would need extra insurance in the event someone sewed their fingers to the quilt; it would take everyone so long to quilt anything it would be cheaper to send out to someone; she went on and on, I couldn't even get a word in to tell her I was just making conversation! I will be interested to hear how your experience goes. Will be watching for your observations.
