Yes - the owner of the store, a Gammill dealer, was extremely helpful. I took the 3 hour orientation class for $80.00. I learned about the machine and its functions, how to load the quilt, etc. After the class, I rented the machine for $20.00 an hour and I had to purchase my own needle, bobbins, corsage pins and thread. I purchased the batting from her because she sold it there off the big rolls. She had a bobbin winder and a tension tester to use at no extra cost. She also let me borrow her Red Snappers, which we discussed renting per use, or purchasing my own. The owner was readily available if I ran into trouble, or couldn't remember how to do something.
