Training is included for both machines. I love the idea of having classes and would definitely take advantage of them. I actually worked in a Quilt Store quilting tops for customers on a Gammill several years ago. I have a basic understanding of the operation of the machine but I know I need training on maintenance, etc.
What bothers me with the Gammill is that (a) I have to take the 2 separate classes before I take delivery so I wouldn't be able to use the machine while the training was fresh in my mind. and (b) The closest training is over 300 miles away, 6+ hours each way. That means 2 trips with a possible overnight stay adding to the overall cost of the machine.
