Definitely give it a try. I'm a new quilter and decided in moment of madness to make my dear friend a quilt for Christmas (decided this at end of November). I booked a lesson on the LQS Gammill and took to it like a duck to water - helped by the fact there is a stitch regulator. When I went back to do my friend's quilt, the only problem I had was by the time I got to the bottom section a couple of hours later, I couldn't remember what I had done at the top (I had a go at loops, flowers and wavy lines on the borders, although the main part was stipple). A little knowledge can be dangerous, lol.
