sorry you had such a bad time. If you want a class try a adult ed class. I took one in california and had a great time.Also here in wichita I took another one to learn the quilt as you go method. It was great. They are only 10 dollars for the classes, pattern and instuction. The teachers are very helpful too. Of course I have been learning alot from this board the ladies here are great in helping people and do great work. after reading this site I get the urge to sew and that is what I have been doing and trying out some of the tips. Thanks ladies. I will never be as good as you all but I decided what is important is to enjoy it so at least I am having a good time.
