Many years ago, when our older daughters were 3 & 5, my husband's job sent him to Ohio for six months. We had about 3 days to pack our station wagon. Guess what got left behind. We were in Huron so I went to a sewing machine store in Sandusky and rented a Singer with all the bells and whistles available at that time. I have kicked myself so many time that I didn't go ahead and buy that machine. Anyway, my suggestion to you is to do a little calling around and see what you can rent in that area.
