My LQS has three different HQ's for rent. She charges $50 per day for rent and you must buy a set of leaders from her so your quilt is loaded and ready to go when you get there. She charges $.02 per square inch to do it for you, which works out to about $100 for a twin size quilt. I decided to buy my own LA and do my own. It should pay for it's self in about a year.
