One of my LQS only has the one class room and it is small, used only for classes another larger shop has UFO night, sit and sew night. classes, and close to Christmas at least 1 free sew night per week. Sometimes that is the only time you can work on gift projects.

The largest dealer/quilt shop in our area has Friday open sew day, unless there is a program or seminar schedueled .
We call ahead to make sure there is space available and to reaserve a machine, if needed. I always take my quilts over there to use the tables to sandwich them. They even let us use spray basting.

Our guild has several "breakout" groups (one that specializes in applique) - those groups meet at different area quilt shops one day a week. It is a great way for quilt shops to sell more fabric and piques customer's interests. We have a group that works on American Doll items -- we meet in a quilt shop also. Just pay $1.00 each for coffee.

The one closest to me does not except for charity sewing (quilts for kids). There is one less local (about 40 min drive) that does at various times during the week/month. However, there is a smaller group that meets locally in our library each week that welcomes anyone. Maybe that's an option for you????

A group of ladies I sew with, meet the first Sat. of every month at our Library, the room is free, has a micro wave, coffee maker. We meet from 9 am to 4 PM. We have always asked for it ahead of time ( for a year) a couple of times a year something will come up Library related and we won't be able to have the room, but they let us know ahead of time and we usually make other plans. (Each others homes). You might try something like this.
