So there is a new LQS in town and they have two Gammill's that you can rent out by the hour. You need to take their certification first. Makes complete sense so far. I don't know of any other place in this area that does this. I know there are several places you can send/bring your quilts for them to do, but not yourself.

So here are my questions: If anyone has experience with a set up like this, what was the charge for the training? They charge $150 which is a 1:1 training. Rental afterwards is $26.50/hour. Do these prices seem reasonable?

My next question is, about how long does it take you to long arm a quilt? I'm thinking even simple edge to edge panto's. Say for a single quilt. I realize that it takes longer at first than once you get the hang of it. I'm just kinda wondering how much time and money and if it is worth it. I'm actually really intrigued by the idea since I have NO room for a long arm. Thanks!
