Sorry you had a bad experience, but you did make two new friends and gleaned what you could from the experience. You made the best of a bad situation. I hope you did tell the instructor and quilt shop your opinion of the class. I've taken classes and often have been "pushed" to buy which is sometimes a part of why the class is given. I've learned to ignore the sales talk and quietly decline products that I don't want. I'm glad you aren't going to judge all classes on this one experience and hope future classes will have the advertised "lots of fun" waiting for you. And yes, this site is one of the best classes you could hope for. Happy quilting, hope to see pictures of your work in the future.
