I don't have an answer, but I am interested in the community's response. I would be very tempted to join a makerspace that had a large format flatbed scanner, a large format vinyl plotter/cutter, and a large format pen plotter (I do Geographic Information Systems as a hobby, so i'd be interested in even larger sizes... Up to 36" or 42" even... Not stuff a hobbyist can afford). If they also focused on the industrial fabric and sewing stuff, my wife would be a member, too... I haven't traditionally had luck in finding maker spaces that have either, although I suspect a club could find a common set of equipment that benefits both groups... If such groups even exist 😂
