i made the decision not to take the classes. i watch the videos when i have time and i find info in my books. like you, redgarnet, i learn something with every quilt i make. i really believe that's the only way to learn. i just learned that i'm not ready ready for sister's choice without sashing. yup! no teacher could have told me that.
i'll back up a step or two and choose something a little easier for the next one.
i once took a stack'n'whack class and really enjoyed the teacher and the company of the other women. i don't think an online "class" in 4 parts would do that for me.
