Like you I was kinda thinking about doing it to help foot the bill for my quilting and to make it a little easier for me. I like the idea about push a button and take a break!
But then theres something about doing it on a treadle makes it just that more special.

hey Billy, a treadle and hand quilting rank all the way to the top, i do so admire anybody that can do that, nothing more beautiful than that. but i don't have a treadle and probably couldn't run one if i did have it. i have arthritis so bad in my feet and legs and in my hands, i can barely do the handwork on the binding, have to do a little bit then take a break. i just want and hope to earn enough to make the payments on the setup, and also to support my quilting habit and help buy groceries and medicine. i'm 73 and live on social security. i don't have any debts other than the one i just made. and i have another thought too, wonder how much to charge to rent my setup to others who want to do their own quilts on it. do shops charge by the hour or day or what? i have no idea but i'm sure somebody on here will know. all u people are so great and so smart on this site, i love it. can't wait till we get our secret quilt angel names, i like others already have my gift made, just need a name and address.
