You are 100 percent right CJ.. Initially you will have to train her on software and Quilter operation... as far as vector drawings are concerned , at that time i would have 1000's of Quilting designs..I will lend you;)
I myself run from teaching;) But in the long run, you will see some beautiful and creative stuff in your house...May be this stuff sell more than the price you get from machining a single job on your shopbot;)
