That price for a class is very reasonable. About your machine, are you familiar with it so you will know how to set it up for the class? some people take a class to learn to quilt, but they haven't spent enough time getting to know things about their machine. The person teaching the quilting class doesn't have the time to help with that. Just thought I would mention this because I have taken classes and some people can't follow along because they don't know how the machine works. I hope you understand what I'm getting at.
Good Luck
