APQS LONG-ARM QUILTING MACHINE RENTAL
Before renting the machine you will need to complete a certification class. This is where you will learn how to thread the machine, wind the bobbin, and load the quilt with our quick zipper system, as well as how to operate the machine. Some quilting techniques are covered. You will have about 1 1/2 hours during your certification to get acquainted and practice on the machine.
After this class, you want to use part of your first rental session to develop your skills before quilting your first quilt.
THE CERTIFCATION CLASS FEE IS $65. THIS COVERS THE 2 1/2 HOURS OF CLASS AND PRACTICE TIME. PLEASE CHECK FOR AVAILABLE TIMES.
