I would jump on this in a heartbeat! Just try one to start - if the quilt is smooth and even and the stitching is easy to remove, then you can take the stack in to her. :) How I would LOVE this option!
If a long-armer has the zipper leads, seems like it would be a good service to offer because it's pretty fast - you could fit basting jobs in between other jobs.
