Renting time on a longarm in your home?
#1
I have a longarm in my home (Innova 26" with stitch regulator), and it doesn't get as much use as I thought it would. (I need to make tops a lot faster, I guess.) I've thought about renting it to others, but there are so many considerations when it's in a home rather than in a place of business. I would like to hear from other longarm owners. Do any of you rent your longarm in your home? Any problems, solutions, hints?

You need to be very careful allowing strangers in your home. It is one story if you only rent it to members of your guild or to friends that you know quilt, but if you advertise you really can not pick and choose who uses it. You never know who comes just to see what you have at home to come back later when you are not there or worse, when you are alone. Be careful.

Maybe if it were in a room that didn't really allow people into the house, you might feel safer. Kind of like all those at home beauty shop ladies have. (Maybe there are not at home beauty shops everywhere. Some days I forget that small town IL isn't the whole world.)
