Sew sorry that you did not get what you wanted from the class. I took my first quilting class at a Lee Ward's, so you know how long ago that was! Then I joined a guild and took more classes at my LQS and through the guild. When I don't feel the class met my expectation, I speak up. At least I get my questions answered!
Don't give up, try other classes. Lots of good suggestions have been given here.
BTW, where in Missouri are you?
