Welcome back and good luck on your new job. If nothing else maybe eventually you can also offer classes on using the long arm. I know that here I haven't seen any. I have a small crib size Gracie quilting frame; all metal. I haven't used it even though I've had it for quite sometime. One store bought a long arm and was going to offer classes but hasn't and now they've hired a person to do quilting for customers so I doubt they'll do the classes as there is always a quilt on the frame. I bought my small frame (slightly used) as a starter but not sure where to start and recently have thought about just selling it since there aren't any classes in the Hampton Roads area. Lots and lots of luck to you.
