I wish that I could offer to pay her for the long arm but we don't have the money to do that. and the worse part is that she lives in CA. while I am in MO. I was thinking of emailing her to see if she really does want to get rid of it and if hubby will be up for it to pay for the shipping. I would deffinatly offer to do all the tops that she would send out. they wont be perfect but it would be free.
