One of the LQS rents time on their Gammills here.
It runs $20 an hour and the first hour is spent teaching you how to deal with the machine. After you get used to it, you don't have to do that hour anymore but staff is always available if you run into difficulties or have a question.
They also run a class for learning how to thread, wind bobbins, ect. before hand once a season or so for $15 or $20.
I'm saving up for a preprinted cheater quilt to learn before I do a 'good' quilt,lol....
