More power to her for trying to help people but............. When I first started quilting I went to a night class, I was up in Scotland at that time, and this Scottish Lady was so emphatic as the way things were done that she took the fun out of quilting, so much so she frightened me out of quilting until I found a friendly Forum and a lovely bunch of quilters who were so generous with their time and experience. I am now a quilting addict and I love my hobby but it could so easily have turned out differently just by the first experience with that teacher. It's a shame someone could not be brave enough and give her some friendly advice.
