I think the real appeal is that you don't have to baste. $8 an hour is a super price and if you love being there, why not? But I would just quilt it and be done with it rather than doing it again at home.
JMHO
So good luck finding the time! I have a place that rents (at $20 an hour) only 15 min from my house and haven't been able to find the time yet.
