I am just recently getting back into quilting. I haven't been to many quilt stores yet. I did call one asking for classes for my new Brother embroidery machine. It is the lowest model you can get. When I told the lady on the phone what model it is she said oh good luck finding a class for that. We call those boat anchors, because they are worthless. I told her I will teach myself and hung up. I was flabbergasted. Couldn't believe she said that. It is a store that is pretty close to me. I will never step foot in there though.
