I am new to quilting, and took a class which was for only 6 students at our library which was free. I have to say that I learned a lot. One was how to bind my table topper. My teacher came to each of us individually and asked of we had any questions or if she could help us in any way. I have to also have to mention that this class was free, the best ever. We all were very grateful that she took the time to teach us how to do things that we didn't know how to do. There were some there who barely knew how to use their machine, but got the same attention as every one else. I can't thank her enough to take time out of her busy schedule to spend three 3 hours of her nite once a week for a month. she even had a second class for those of us who wanted the second class, which I did.
I'm so sorry that some of you have had such a bad experience and I hope that you won't give up on getting the help that all of newbie's seem to crave. After all quilting is so addicting and we want to know all that we can.
