I think that is a great price! I have a friend in Florida who wanted to learn how to quilt and he took a class at the LQS and the owner charged him $300 which included 4 classes and the supplies to make a full size quilt. . . she also talked him into a new machine, new rotary cutter and mat and several rulers, new feet for his sewing machine before he purchased the new one, all purchased from her shop. First month he spent $2000 in her shop. Be cautious is all I can say!
