The other LAQer is plumb tuckered out. You don't want to go the same way. Take enough business to pay off your frame ($100 for a twin with meander is reasonable) if they supply the batt back and thread. Charge extra if you supply it (you may like certain brands) I am not a LAQ and I would be glad to pay that. Remember, you are going to put wear and tear on your machine and especially your body. Don't over do, so you can still enjoy quilting.
