My sister and I planned to purchase a quilter and frame together. The more I thought about it I decided I would pay the entire price since it was going to be at my house. She bought several accessories. She comes over to sew when she wants as long as I don't have a quilt loaded. She does not drive so I either pick her up or she gets a ride and stays a few days. We are planning another sleep over soon. She is finnishing tops quicker than she can get over to quilt them.--- You may concider purchasing it your self and keeping it at your friend's house until you can make room for it.
