This is great advice - thank you! I was wondering if an online shop would be a better option for me, at least initially. It would be a challenge to make it stand apart from otehr websites though. I also wanted to offer machine quilting services, but that just adds more questions to my list (and more $$ :oops: ). If i did machine quilting services, i'd have to learn to use the thing and wouldn't know what to do if it jammed. I'm sure the manufacturer probably gives advice fort his type of thing.
