I have never taken a class but would like to but I am like you I could spend that money on fabric. I did sign up for one class this past winter but when my husband got sick I didn't get to go. So guess what, I lost the $12.00 that I spent just to join the club. Do you know how much fabric that I could have bought at Walmart when they went to 50% and 75% off when they were getting rid of their fabric. DUH!!!!
