Renting a machine is a good idea for some but consider this..you are paying by the hour...even on my machine I will say to DH .." I just have about one hours work to finish the quilt I have on the frame." he comes in about about
1 1/2 hrs later and asked what happened your not done..
Well the thread kept breaking, changed the needle, cleaned the bobbin area, retreaded the machine, changed the thread and still not half done..
But if everything goes well..the backing is squared, the top is even..no wavey borders then away you go...
