I think that good classes are far more common than bad ones, perhaps because shops with bad classes don't stay in business that long. I have never seen one where we could not bring in our own fabrics. One local shop does give a reduction in class fees if you purchase the supplies from them, but most seem to expect that you will show up with your own supplies, from whatever source. Is that not the norm everywhere?
