I don't know of a place, but I highly recommend this way of doing things. It gives you a good idea if you are going to be happy using one of these machines. I took a required class before I could rent my quilt shop's long arm. That was a good lesson on how to set everything up and work the machine. Then rent it and do a couple of baby quilt, or lap quilts. I quickly bought a mid arm machine and have since upgraded to a long arm. When first beginning it difficult to do a large quilt in one rental day, so start out small.
