I will let you know if I can figure out a way to buy the one I am looking at!! Thank you!

I would also love to take some classes even though I don't have a long arm. We have one store here that offers machine quilting but it's always on Sundays when I work. We had one store that got a long arm in and was supposed to be sending someone to class but I guess it didn't work out because they sold thier long arm. I wish you all the luck in the world and hopefully you'll find some classes that you can take. The good thing is that alot of people buy the long arm before learning how to do it and then try to do the business and decide it's not for them. At least you are learning first; maybe your friend could rent you time on hers to do others quilts so you could help afford your own long arm and gain experience at the same time.
