You're in Spring, Texas. There is a quilt machine shop there that has classes with several kinds of machines already set up and ready to go (for the classes they teach). Classes are free if you buy machine from them, but even if you're just looking for now, you could ask for a little tour with pros and cons of the different machines.
www.TexasQuiltMachines.com or
www.QuiltFrog.com..Owners are Tom and Carrie Duggan.
