Hi Kelley!
Happy New Year!
Thanks for putting up another fun podcast…listening while I stitch. Speaking of FMQ without lowering the feeddogs, one of my best FM machines was an 1894 Singer model 15 treadle. I didn’t (couldn’t) lower the feeddogs and I didn’t cover them – just set the stitch length to zero.
As far as your other questions, personally I wouldn’t want to read a quilting book as an ebook, but I don’t see any problem with you charging for a book (or any other item/pattern, etc) You deserve to be paid…after all you provide the podcast for free.
I think an ebook is a fine idea. I do think you might want to look into some of the other publishing options too, though. I believe that Amazon and Barnes & Noble do both electronic and book publishing at no cost to you. Just something you might want to look into.
On a different note, my LQS sent out a newsletter last night that included the information that there is a woman who will do binding for a price.
