You are not alone. I get real nervous in a class setting too. An example...I was taking a border class. The teacher hovered. I sewed my finger. My seams did not match. Only one in class not to finish. I have been sewing since 5 and quilting since 1986. I have received several blue ribbons and a best of show so it definately is not my sewing ability. My advice...make your class project the sample and make another at home for your masterpiece. Just don't give up. There is no such thing as an ugly quilt.
