I have had a Crown Jewel for 1 1/2 years also. I see you live in Colorado. That is a ways away from St. Louis, but Baby Lock had a 4 day class there that I went to. It costs especially if you have to drive or fly a distance and then you have to stay in a motel or hotel. Baby Lock helped me find a roommate which cut down on the cost some.
But...it was well worth the cost. 4 days from 8AM to 8PM using the same machine that I bought. I learned absolutely everything you could possibly know about the machine and frame and had alot of practice. Each person in the class had a machine and frame for their own use the whole time. Those that bought the Quilt Motion had that on their setup too. Those that did not could work with it with another student just to see how it works.
If you think you might want to do that, look up their Getaway on their website.
