I might loan someone a ruler (that I could replace) but not my sewing machines. I used to have a Harley and you don't loan those either. It's kind of an unwritten code that you don't ask someone to ride their bike. Well sewing machines and equipment are the same thing to me. You really shouldn't let something out of your sight unless you don't care if you get it back in one piece. Everybody doesn't take care of things. Just my thoughts, call me selfish but I work hard for my toys.
