I am a quilt class drop out. I signed up for a 6 week class at the local learning center paid my 130$ and dropped out after the second class. I am a lefty and the teacher was teaching righty learning and she kept telling me I was doing everything wrong, and backwards embarrassing me in front of the class and she gave me a hard time because I choose brights for my first little wall hanging project when she said in the flyer light or pastels colors would be best... I am not a fan of pastels at all and it did'nt say I "had" to use pastels.
So I dropped out bought some books and learned my own slow way.
And thanks to my BFF who is also a quilter (we met online) she has walked me through many a technique with lots of patience.
