It's been several years since I contacted them, and I was told The Quilt Frog offers classes, but they don't rent time on machines.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

Might also check with Sew Contempo (281-333-5322) near Webster/Nasa 1. I'm not sure if they rent them, but I bet they would know who does.

check out Jo's Quilting Studio I know that they are an Innova Dealer and I have talked to them at the Dallas Quilt Show. I am pretty sure that they rent time. There are a lot of Innova owners on this board and I know that next year that is the route I am going!!!!

Forgot to mention that they are in Richmond which I believe it pretty close to Houston.

I would also check with this shop as I think they have 2-4 different brands of machines so you could try them all to see which one "feels" best for you. Then you will have a better idea for which one to purchase if you find you like to do longarming.

Check out the Texas Machine Quilters, at quiltfrog.com, in Spring. They have several brands you can try and they offer excellent customer support. With the purchase of a machine you get a free two-day class on YOUR machine. I got mine there, and I live six hours away!
