I think you'll find this site VERY helpful. I have been quilting for a while and have only taken two classes - -years ago. There are some things I don't think I would have understood unless I had tried them. Now when I see something, it hits me - - Ah Ha!! So that's what that means!! or So, that's how you do that. This site had been very helpful and you can ask anything and find someone who knows how to do that.
