You may also find a local quilter who will give you a private lesson. I was surprised how much I learned when I sat and quilted with a new neighbor. It gave me courage to go into quilt shops and ask more questions.

Visit your local quilt shops, guilds or church groups and see if you are comfortable with the people who give lessons. You'd be surprised at how welcoming some are to new quilters.
